Which specie really grows bigger Cichla Temensis or the Empero Cichlid?

[mikko boy]

Hi guys, ive been doing research between the two specie and found different results. Id like to ask which really grows bigger than the other? The Cichla Temensis (speckled peacock bass) or Boulengerochromis microlepis (emperor cichlid)?

Thanks in advance guys

The Speckled Peacock Bass is quoted as the "Largest cichlid of the Americas", and IMO it's definitely must better looking than an Emperor Cichlid. I would say go with the SPB.

The African is the world's largest Cichlid, but the bass is a better looking fish.
