He goes from my elbow to the tip of my fingertips, maybe just past. I literally just measued my freaking arm, and it's right around 20". So he could be up to 22" TOPS. He's a good 6-7" tall and 3" thick, I'd guess he weighs in at over 7lbs. I'd love to say he's bigger (he certainly seems larger in person) but I don't think he is.

If that's a 30" high 600 gallon, I think my dovii is as long -- not nearly as humpilicious though!
(I know, I know......worthless without pics! Must-have-video-editing-help----will-show-video. Check the other Parachromis thread for a pic.)
Reagan's may be bigger. He had an "accident" today with a 10" xiloa I sent him. The xiloa somehow found its way in his dovii's mouth. I know my fish would struggle with a 10" feeder!
I am told Spencer Jack's dovii is Orca-sized too.
BUT, until pics, Mel's fish wins! His youtube vid is the best!
