i had one that i fed nuclear waste and it grew to 3 feet long. sadly one night it crawled out of my tank ( yes it grew legs also) and ate our dog and we havent seen him since. i had to lock my bedroom door at night lol. but i think the cyanos get bigger

I caught one that was 14".. It wasn't raised in an aquarium though. I let it go since large Texas cichlids are pretty scarce to come across.

It looks like a "Texas" hybrid to me. But hey, I've been wrong before.
