Parachromis managuensis (collection locale = lfs)

This is my current guy. Lfs variant as well at an inch shorter than his predecessor.

Beautiful. Brent's pictures makes the best wallpapers LOL.

Excellent thread by the way! Here are some pix of these monsters I've saved to my computer. I would love to catch one of these guys on the rod and reel someday! Truly monsters.

wow, thats all i can say. i would love to catch one of those...... or keep one that big. i want to own one of these, once i have enough room for one.
i know this is a picture thread but my question is, what would a minimum size tank for like the dovii? I've read 180g, but considering that they can reach over 20" i would think atleast a tank 72"x30"? sorry for the derail.

For ones those sizes in the pics, you will need at least a 600g.

Awesome pix guys! keep it going!

Damn, I can't wait until I get my own place in order to keep a tank that's truly big enough for my favorite guapote, the jaguar.

I often hear people say you can keep them in a 180g. Whatever, that's why you only see a handful of extra large Dovii, the others die long before they can ever attain max growth. Personally I think it's from beating themselves to death on the sides of the (too small) tank.

Very nice as well. What's the claimed size of this barbarian?

Not sure....I can't remember.

Let's not forget that Grammodes are guapotes. Here's one of Gani's (Ruck Fules) grammy pics. Only Chris (aka cchhcc) had a comparible one in size and awesomeness that I know of. BTW, is Gani out of the hobby? I saw some 'out of hobby' threads of his in the market forum. NM, I remember he recently bought some new Umbie....I guess once your in you can't get out lol.

I LOVE the grammodes and that is an awesome male! I had a nice male for a while, before I was brave enough to add a dovii to the community. Kind of a dovii substitution (dovii lite, lol) so to speak. Slow growers, but when you put in the time and effort, they turn out to be rulers!

That is a beast. Best I have seen in a pic. Where are the rest of the monster guapotes.......they do not all have to be Dovii and Jags. What about the rest?
