Whats the biggest mormyrid around?

Anybody got a pic to share?

Ive often wondered why these guys arent more popular?!?!?
 
I know Mormyrops anguilloides get to around 60 inches. Not sure if they are the biggest. Would love to have a school of them in a huge tank.
 
I don't know their common or scientific names, but I heard once that the dolphins in tangyanika are huge
 
wow, thanks for sharing the pictures!

any vendors ever sell these monsters?

There was some shots of them eating cichlids on Blue Planet, cool looking fish. They looked fairly large.
 
That's wild... I've always thought it's funny that we'll pay hundreds for what's gonna end up on their plates.

I'm sure some people feel the same way about our native species.
