Yea I've seen them around 7 inches and super round and fat and ugly I'm pretty happy with how this one looks
I have a 7.5 inch male blood parrot not king Kong I would post a pic but he was attacked by a jaguar female I'm rehoming her tomorrow it's not a serious injury just the tail fin a but damaged but can't see full size like that.
Ninjad. I don't know if Boss is the biggest and I am not a big fan of them but that is a gorgeous fish
I’ve seen some nice 8-10 inch guys before at various lfs.
My guy is pushing 7 inches now, I can get more recent pics tomorrow.

Biggest parrots I ever saw were just over 10" and looked like pumpkins. They were an old pair and 'cuddled' in the tank.
Here's mine. I've had them 3 years since young adults.
Starting with Patch, the 'smallest' one at 7 1/2" and 2 inches thick. She has large bones more than natural bulk. Huge with eggs. Was still peeling when I got her. She's the only one with a full set of teeth. Fights like a devil. #1 butt kicker.

This is Kong. She's very strong and can drag sponge filters and bulldoze rocks. Muscular. She's over 8 inches and is 2 inches thick. Sometimes has a piebald look when laying eggs. Has a fang tooth up top. Extremely aggressive, second only to Patch.
Tango is my 'nervous' parrot but very personable and playful. Rivals Boss in bulk but has a flatter body profile. Over 8 inches and over 2 inches thick. Is aggressive only around other parrots. Big sleepy eyes. Spooks easily.
And here is Boss, overall my most massive parrot. Has almost no tail stem and is pretty much a ball with fins. He's somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 inches, and somewhere between 2 and 3 inches thick. His body height alone is over 4 inches. Looks like a bathysphere when he swims. He has the true blood color and never shifts or goes pale. Literally glows under LED.
