Donny Brook,

I think you forgot one that should belong in your top ten list because of it's shear size alone! If the genus didn't get reclassified in the last two-three years, this fish is the Boulengerochromis microlepis "Giant Tanganyika Cichlid. As of two years ago, the largest cichlid species. 32 inch capability. At least a first in the honorable mention category.
