Max size's of the different cichla species

[DammitKhoa]

might be an idea to throw up a thread for each sp entitled something like who has the biggest azul? who has the biggest kelberi etc. i know its a lot of threads but everyone can post there biggest bass and you could put the results in this thread? we may get a better idea on sizes in captivity?

thats a good idea, if no one can come up with a list from the top of their head

I would really like to know this too

and I hope you don't mind BigUmbeeFan

I would like to know Max size in captivity for FOGO as well

I bet you would like to know how big a Fogo gets, I would love to see how big one gets in my tank.

6.monoculus

They all get adout the same around 24in. Monos are sometimes are found to be bigger.

Maybe if everyone were to list what cichla they got and it's present size would help... I just jumped onto the train so would love more info on these guys.
