I heard about the Mangar fish a few years back when I browsed on fishing-worldrecords.com and it blew my mind. The size it can attain is truely amazing. Wouldn't mind at all owning one of these guys and the best of all is that not a tropical species so all you'd need is a huge pond. Along with Elopichthys bambusa one of my favourite cyprinid's.
