john ptc got a big one. i have 2. 6x4x2 is not big enough for life.they max out at 6'8". you need to have either a pond, or a place to send your barra once it outgrows a 6x4x2.
 
If I remember right Johnptc's is 16" ish?(correct me if I'm wrong john?), Neoprodigy's is 22"-24" and mine is in between there.. I don't know for sure but venture to say Li's is the biggest one on MFK I know about?

I honestly don't know that you'll see 6ft in an aquarium setting unless you're talking a really old fish. But I would prepare for 3-4ft.

Just remember that big fish eat alot. Most of my shrimp consumption is because of my barramundi and were talking multiple pounds a week.
