Who Owns the BIGGEST Festae???

[BIG-G]

Yeah, BIG - let's see them or it didn't happen.

I dont have any current pictures. I will try to get some today.
This video is over a year old and they are both larger now. The male is really beefy also I would estimate that he is around 3 and half inches thick.
The strawberry pot in the background is 16 inches for comparison.

I didn't realize that they got that big. I was thinking 6-7 inches tops.

A thread from a few years back, where a male collected in the wild topped out at 50 cm. (19 3/4")

There is nothing showing the actual size of that fish - so until I see that, I don't believe it's that large. It looks similar to the fish in the video to me.

Any you're cheeky and disrespectful

Here is a video from Today. I tried to get a tape measure in the shot but even when I did the fish were back a bit from the front glass so its still hard to be sure exactly what size they are. They are in a 220 72Lx24Wx30H.
