As title states, whats the biggest cichlid sizes recorded to your knowledge for the most popular species? Claims would be cool with reliable sourcing, but it's not serious, just curious!

So how about it, jaguars, dovii, convicts, red devils, midas, GT's etc?

Also apologies if this has been covered before!
 
When I lived in Chicago I visited the Shedd aquarium a few times. They have a large Midas Cichlid exhibit with some absolutely massive males. Not kidding when I say some of these old males were between 14-16". The picture below (not mine) shows these fish.

I think a member here uploaded a video about a giant Dovii here, it's probably over 30 inches, it's in public aquarium.
