Dont know what reference you're using GC but -

Tanganyika Cichlids in their natural habitat, Ad Konings 1998, p158
"The maximum total length of a male B. tricoti is about 18cm, females remain a few centimetres smaller"

Back to Nature Guide to Tangayika Cichlids, Ad Konings, 1996, p35
"Maximum total length: Males about 20cm; females usually no longer than 16cm."

Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual (sic)), Mark Phillip Smith, 1998, p72
"Adult Size: To 8 inches (20cm)"

I have others, but they also say the same thing.

But if you like internet references that you can check to validate if you dont have the above books -

http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=8148

http://thatfishshop.com/findex/fish/benthochromis_tricoti.htm

I prefer the first one because it has some scientific research behind it, better than all the fish shop ones.
