What's the LARGEST fish you've ever kept in aquaria? Not the meanest, but the biggest. Mine would have to be the Gymnarchus Niloticus (aba aba). At about 19 inches long and three inches thick! But my Lima shovelnose and three peacock bass are getting big them selves. the cat is about a foot and the bass are at least 8 inches long.
So who's next?

Currently in the big tank(265 gl.) there is one 14" pacu, a juvenile red devil and just introduced my 8" green severum to it. Most of the others in other tanks are between 6 and 9".

I have an 11" Jack Dempsey with a 3" wide head.
I've never officially measured him, just estimating.

14" male jag. But I recently purchased a 2" dovii. Can't tell the sex yet but if its a male, could be a big one down the road.
