Silurus glanis...overdue upgrade

[Karl K]

Im just a jokester man...no worries, i didnt take it that way lol. not sure on a captive size for these guys but like anything else if ur husbandry is top notch they have the potential to reach at or close to wild sizes.

Yeh the thing is, noone really knows the wild max size Studies have shown that theres a possibility that they can get up 1000lb, but i doubt that they will go beyond 2m in captivity. But 2m, is huge.
May i ask what the footprint, of the massive pond is?

Pond/pool is 12' diamater. My 3200gal build is 14'x8'x4'. So he should hit atleast 8' no prob if i can keep him alive that long.

The wild record from long ago was about 16' but now it is highly uncommon if not impossible to come across a fish bigger than 9'-10'. And even these are quite rare.

Not positive, but i think the world record weight on rod-n-reel is around 260lbs. Many others claim anywhere from 300-1102lbs for unconventional fishing methods. My guess in captivity is atleast 4'-6' in the right conditions. I know theres a member who had a large w/c one from a fisherman, curious how big it is now.

Been in the game a while now...this is as many as i can get in one frame, theres more lol...all joking aside, nowhere special, craigslist, and i cleaned out a lfs that closed over a couple yrs. Funny ive never got one from mfk tho lol. I let my buddy doubledragon have a 300 from the place that closed but im a sucker for acrylic so when they pop up i grab em immediatly and suffer the consequences later. 90% Of what i have was broken, old or in bad shape so i guess others turn them down. I built my 650 gal myself, build/weld all my own stands and always look for more lol... about outta room tho so ill share the next ones i find with our community.
