Only two? I thought umbee or festae would make it, seems like they're a bit too small for XXL, lol.

That was not an exhaustive list, just the first 2 that came to mind

For XXL, I'd add Umbee to that list but that's it.

I think the XL list would be much larger though. Which would include Amphilophus, the other Parachromis, etc.

Emperor cichlid from Africa. Think they get close to 3ft long, could be wrong.

Yep, they're definitely XXL size, but I'm only talking about New World cichlids here.

Would you put black nasty into XXL category? If Black Nasty could be considered XXL, then Jaguar and Petenia Splendida would make it into the list too.

Yea I'd say their up there. They get as big as some Jaguar cichlids. I wouldn't put as top 3 though
