largest jewel and fire mouth?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a young pair of 5" firemouths. I believe males can get to 7".
 
There are several closely related species sold as "jewel" cichlid, which range from about 3.5"-5" depending on which one you have. Probably the reason for discrepancy.
 
I had a breeding pair of jewels years ago, just regular type ones and the male was around 5" and had a slight hump, really cool looking when they get larger and put some size on
