Largest Guapote Photos Only...

[terd ferguson]

The biggest baddest jag to ever grace MFK. (compliments of Brent Smith Photography-a.k.a. greenterra) I think he was over 16".

haha..Thanks Balton. I miss that manny. He was closer to 17" when I lost him.

The largest dovii I have ever laid eyes on is this guy at Underwater World in Maloolaba,QLD. A pure beast.

This jag is the one that got me into Parachromis in the first place! All time tied for first favorite managuense! This thread would surely be incomplete without him. And thanks GT for the inspiration!

And I think I remember you saying this dovii was true 20"? He looks every bit of it.

How about a full on side shot of this beastie!

I saw the video and that fish is impressive. Hard to believe its not 20"+.

Mel said it is around 22-25". It looks every bit of it.

The problem with all these awesome dovii being shown in no one is actually measuring them. Granted, that can be a very tough thing to do in most circumstances, but without a measurement it's all assumptions.

When I first saw Mel's dovii I was positive it was at least 24" More like 26". 150% positive. But after discussing it and holding objects up to him next to the acrylic, I was 200% positive he was at least 20". Then after measuring said objects that we held up to him...it was pretty apparent that he was more along the lines of 18-20" tops.

That thread is almost six months old. So maybe he is 20"+ by now.

I will try to catch one with my arm next to the tank.

Now you're talking!
