henward Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 they get massive easily. eats anything anytime. the msot unpicky fish youc anp robably own and fast growers. heavy, true tank busters ay. apparently they taste wonderful too.

malevolentsparkle Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 what would be the minimum tank size for one? 3m x 2m x 2m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 no thats a bit big. i would say an 8 to 10 foot length. 4 foot by 4 foot would suffice for a while their growth rate slows way more when they reach 70 cms. then its not as pronounced long term,w ell.... they dont really even nkow the max size of them as they keep growing apparently. i would say a pool or pond would be ideal. a converted pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentsparkle Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 i have read that they get to 1m long. but they are deep and wide fish so they need depth and width to be comfortable i would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
