For severum cichlid owners and former owners. How big is - or was - your fish?

I have a 10" Severum in a 250 gallon tank with other fish. I've had him/her (never bothered to try to figure out the sex) for almost 6 years.

I had an 8" Severum in a separate 75 gallon aquarium alone but unfortunately lost him/her during a move.

Drink a little bit of bleach and hang yourself, maybe that will help find your answer.

Mine outgrew my 26 in less than a year and lived another 5 years or so in a 75 with one Jack Dempsey.
I neglected the tank for a year and lost the fish eventually.
Best I remember he was at least 8-10 inches.
Fish that are healthy and in a large enough tank will grow to their max size. (Note:just like everything else in this hobby, you can't trust every source for info like max size. Some info can be wrong, double check things)

Cichlids can grow to over a foot even longer. My brother had to give one away because it got too big, and too aggressive, I am really not familiar with Severum. When my brother traded his cichlid off it was more than 12 inches. He had a 70 gal aquarium then. It really did look out of place.
