How much difference in weight

[dan518]

I was having a discussion with a mate the other day about if all CA/SA cichlids grew to 13 inch which would be the heaviest and how much weight difference there would be between them. I have read about people catching Midas and a 12 inch fish seems to way in at 2.2 lb and a 13 inch is about 2.8 lb which is a big difference for just a extra inch. (my wife says the extra inch is important ).
So if all CA/SA grew to 13 inch which would be the heaviest, my vote goes to a trimac

I think it would be an Oscar. But it is really a far out there question. Because many of them have similar gerth.

Well a trimac will definitely hit 13", a male anyways. I have seen some super chunky little convicts. A hybrid like a blood parrot would be a basketball at 13"

I would say a pearsei would probably weight the most.

A cichla, because it ate a 10 inch oscar

Hoga's r pretty meaty fish. Then again so are umbees.

id say a flowerhorn. one with a huge nuchal hump would have to add alot of weight. if its for purebreds id say trimacs or dovii because they have alot of muscle

 

[qguy]

dovii at 13 inches is more long than tall... an 10 inch oscar would probably outweigh the dovii

Pearsi would be the heaviest
