Gentle Giants

Fancy Goldfish? They get really big if you take care of them

My fancy goldfish (Red Cap Oranda) definately loved to snack on other fish. He cleared me out of both flame and neon tetras. He would eat anything he could.

The African arowana, Heterotis niloticus, is a large filter feeder.

They are not meant for the personal aquarium.

The true gentle giants of the fish world are the basking sharks, but like the paddles, unless you work at an aquarium (Matt, Em, Nicky) then you won't get to work with one.

Go brackish and get scats, mine are like pacu that don't have teeth. I would trust them with molly fry, if that says anything about them.

Black Ghost Knifefish are Carnivores.

White Sturgeons are true gentle giants, but they get about 4 feet long!

Black Ghosts may be carnivores but I can't see even a large specimen eating a
Gourami sized fish.
