In my opinion yes, only because to buy over here your looking at upwards of $1000. In saying this though. I hope you've done your research befor looking at buying on. As i've heard their growth rate is far quick than most fish. If i rember correctly they nearly hit 3 to 4 foot in their first year. So if you do buy one please rember your really are dealing with a monster.
Along with the 10's of thousands you will spend to properly care for a 12 foot + fish.
I don't know there max size. In TFH they claimed they can get 15' in the wild, who cares someone asking if $75 is fair is in no position to care for the fish. What if it was a high price........they going to buy on for $50 to save a little cash? Just my 2 cents these should not even be in the hobby! There are only a few that can or will give them what they need.
Good points and they can get to more than twelve feet in the wild.None of them are going to get anywhere near that in captivity unless they are going to live out their lives in a huge public aquarium.Sadly,most of the ones that are bought are lucky to reach two feet and it's a good thing that they are no longer wild caught.
