The group of fish called 'Mbuna' is quite large. Mbuna simply means "rockfish" or "fish that lives in the rocks" in the native language of the people of Malawi. When adult the different species of "rockfish" range in size from 4 inches long to over 10 inches.

∙ 13y agoEven though cute and small when juvenile, Flowerhorn cichlids get very ugly (huge hump on head, very stocky body) and can grow to about 24 inches.
Size could vary due to various reasons like genes, care taking (space provided). The largest of Flowerhorn may cross 24" mark, Kamfa strain grows a lot and has an average of 10"-18". While a pure ZZ might reach a max of 13"-15". And the short-bodies/ Bonsai are under 5"-10" as their name suggests.
Would like to differ from the above answer..It is actually the opposite..wouldnt say ugly but rather not so pretty when small however grow up to be amazing pets."KOK"/Hump on head, stocky body (body proportion), Finnage (Wrap tail), markings, etc are evaluated/observed to decide how beautiful the fish is...
