I want one, but I won't get one until I have atleast a 100,000 gal. pond...!

 

[sbuse]

what would a min. pond size be for one for life? isn't the max size like 10ft?

 

[LBathory]

you cannot keep it in a 300 for much time.

10K gallon pond minimum

usually for most active swimming fish, its 2x width of total adult length, and the enclosure should be 4-5x long as total adult length.

amounting to 30'x60-75' if your projecting for 15' fish, but i would really only project 10-12' for a captive specimen.
