That would have been my kissing gourami when I was a youngster. And even that wasn't that enormous. Not really a big fish person.
Atm my biggest is my female peppered cory, c 3 inches, very good-looking lady. Am looking to to get some pearl gouramis and bristlenoses for my next tank but wasn't really planning to go bigger than that.

I had a Chinese Algae Eater that got to about 8 inches long before he died. He was an awesome fish. I hope the new one I have gets that big!

The biggest was my 2' Boulengerochromis microlepis. They have the potential to grow to 3 feet. Known to be the largest cichlid in the world.

The species that I have kept that had the potential to get the biggest was my Arapaima gigas ( can get to 8'+ ), alligator gar ( another that can get to 8'+ ), and red tail catfish.

Other fish worth mentioning are Cichla temensis and Cichla orinocensis. The C. temensis can grow to 3' and C. orinocensis a bit smaller.
