went out to st louis mills mall today, and they have an aquarium called pirahna realm there. i think its a new place 2 bucks to get in! they have 12 large tanks if memory serves, they are 4000 gal. anyway i get to one of the tanks and they have a huge jag must have been close to 20in. it was guarding rd fry none the less. tank also had some dovii, midas, and some others. one tank housed som red tail cats, pike cichlids, flagtails, banded leos, pink tails, gg, ray pups, small arrowana, you name it. def worth the 2 bucks. if you are in the area check it out.

If I'm not wrong Parachromis managuense gets to 45cm, max. 45cm = 18". And a 18" Jag is very very very uncommon.saltydog_1;1264231; said:

I did. 12-14"...maybe. Wide angle lens shot from the head down makes it look bigger.
I have NEVER seen a Managuense that was bigger than 16"...in the wild, wild caught or otherwise. I agree...you probably saw a Dovii...or you are incorrect in your assesment of how big.
