Five largest cichlids

[Flexxx]

I would like to know what the five largest cichlids are?

 

[bigspizz]

Emperor, pbass, dovii, Tilapia, umbee????? At least three are correct....

Emperor, PBass (specifically c. temensis I believe), Dovii and Umbee are in the top five I'm pretty sure. I've personally caught tilapia (O. Niloticus) in the canals around here that were over 20" so I think they could be up there too.

Cichla temensis 99 cm
Cichla ocellaris 74 cm
Parachromis dovii 72 cm
Cichla monoculus 70 cm
Boulengerochromis microlepis 65 cm

not a chance find me 3 captive grown male jaguars over 16" and fmeales over 14", you'd be on the right track for dovii though.

Cichla temensis 99 cm
Cichla ocellaris 74 cm
Parachromis dovii 72 cm
Cichla monoculus 70 cm
Boulengerochromis microlepis 65 cm

that sounds pretty right...i'm sure the emporer and umbee are definately up there to
