i'm sure that if given the right tank conditions a Cichla could be grown that large with that color. it would take a tank on the scale of something in a national aquarium with maitnence centered around that fish. but it could be done i'm sure. some pretty amazing things have been done in the aquarium hobby so i don't know if many things are out of reach.

I believe that cichla temensis is the largest cichlid. B. microlepis gets 31 inches, whereas I've heard about cichla that were at LEAST 36 inches, some even approaching or hitting in hte low 40's.
Feed them with colour enhancers and they'll be easily as colourful if not more. New life spectrum is absolutely amazing.
