Largest dovii in private aquaria?

[greenterra]

Where is that dovii greenterra? Will make a point of going there next time I'm in oz (not sure when that will be though!), it gertainly is a brute, and looks to be easily twice the length of the female red devil.

But I do agree with modest_man, its like I said in the thread about huge oscars, until the fish is out of the tank and lying on a tape measure its all just speculation. And despite the countless claims of 14-16"+ oscars I have never seen a pic of one with a tape measure to verify it.

This guy is housed at Underwater World in Mooloolaba, Queensland.

*Smacks head* The whole point of my post flew right over your head.

Sure, they all look giant, but HOW large are they? "Easily 22 inches +" based off of what?

When I was little my grandpa gave me a fillet knife And on the case it had a ruler on each side. One of the rulers were labeled "the honest fisherman" and was incremented in true inches. On the other side it was labeled " the dishonest fisherman" and was labeling every half inch as a full inch. Ill find it and post a picture sometime. the direction this thread went with the 36" talk reminded me of that.
