Not sure where you got this information but it is not accurate. The United States record for largest Walleye caught in the wild is 35.5" long. So just short of 3 feet long. I fish walleyes a lot and anything over 30" long is considered a trophy fish.I think people don’t keep walleye because it’s not uncommon at all for them to hit 3ft in length. Awesome tank and idea I’ll be following to watch the progress and to see if captive walleye don’t get as large as the wild. I was pondering a perch tank myself for a while I have a school of jumbos I put in my in laws pond.
So this 36” walleye here is the world record eh...Not sure where you got this information but it is not accurate. The United States record for largest Walleye caught in the wild is 35.5" long.

For reference, a 26" long walleye is usually around 9 years old. It would take a long time to grow one of these in your tank to a size that big.
Actually I apologize taxidermist said 34 3/4” . There was one dnr shocked at the dam that dwarfed it just this year. Potential st record
I have seen several walleye surpass three ft in public aquariums, when they got themNot sure where you got this information but it is not accurate.

That’s kind of a surprise. I’ve only had mine for a few weeks, but he eats anything I put in the tank, flakes, floating pellets, sinking pellets, blood worms, meal worms. He seems to prefer eating off the bottom of the tank but he does also feed at the top.Yellows are some good looking fish but they were finicky eaters when I had mine.
They are quarantined prior to feeding. No way I'd just go to LFS then dump them inJust a heads up: never feed goldfish to fish.
