This may surprise you but, I actually look sh1t up...er, I meant to say 'research' prior to posting unless I'm relating personal experiences.labeo said:Can you tell me were you got that info? have you ever seen proof of a specimen getting to that size? its the first ive heard of it, how can a captive bred black shark outgrow a wild shark?.
I would love to see a 35in black shark btw if they did reach these proportions.

"Morulius chrysophekadion is one of the large cyprinids. The survey confirmed its distribution throughout the basin, from the northernmost stations in the Lao PDR and Thailand to the southernmost stations in Bassac and the Mekong delta in Viet Nam.
There is some variation in the maximum size attained by this fish in the four countries. In Viet Nam, maximum reported size of Morulius chrysophekadion was 40 cm (16"), while in Cambodia and the Lao PDR it was 70 cm (27"). In Thailand, fishes of 90 cm (35") were reported (about 7 kg), which is considerably higher than the maximum size of 60 cm (24"), reported by Rainboth (1996)." © 2006 Mekong River Commission.
