Biggest TEXAS cichlid EVER....!??

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

No worries, i haven't any experience with this spice, i just couldn't resist when i first saw him so i took him no matter what!!
From some very little reaserch i've made i didn't saw anywhere that they can grow that big...i wouldn't mind if i own a new world record!!

+1 on the hybrid

definitely looks hybrid.

OK, maybe it's a hybrid, what mix you think it is first of all, and secondly is normal to get so large (depends from the mix i think!)???

That would actually look GREAT on a dinner plate with some natural herbs/spice...Sriracha sauce

They HAD one at Shark Aquarium that was almost as long as the 20 gallon tank is was being kept in. It was HUGE. Was definitely an old timer though. Had some mouth battle scars.

I don't know if they still have it.

Cavamart has one of the biggest males I've ever seen... Carpintis "vontehillo." Not sure exactly how big it is though.

James' is only 10" he said. Plenty larger than that. If you want to see a beast of a 12" "Escondido" look up DarthV's. Armac had a huge cyano/carpintis mix too. And I've seen photos of plenty of cyanos caught in texas over 12". I agree that the fish posted does not look like a pure texas as well.
