I received an email from Heinz Machacek, the editor World Records Freshwater Fishing.
Heinz has an english version of his German website listing the verified record sizes of fish caught by fishing rod. If you go to his website you will find many of the fish we keep in the hobby and in some cases be very surprised at the records either being bigger than expected or in many cases being smaller. It's a free website and you can click on his email to receive regular updates.


Dear Arapaimag,

it would be great if you can add the newsletter from 2008 (if you want).

Thank you in advance
Best regards
Heinz

A collection of some of the threads and videos of the 2 big tanks and the 810 gallon tank.

How to build a big tank. This thread was put together on Monsterfishkeepers website in 2005. And shows the 52,000 gallon tank being built from the excavation to the tank with water in it. The tank is in an L shape and measures 36 feet long, 27 feet wide and the water is 9 feet deep. Nearly 1,000,000 views as of March/2011.
