Giant ATF in Captivity

[Goban]

I started this thread based on my curiosity and for my own research of ATF keeping in captivity. Hopefully you guys can share the biggest ATFs ever spotted in captivity, wish that this could help information sharing for every ATF keepers out there.

I will start by the GATF owned by a guy in Indonesia, his goliath is over 3ft now and has killed a lot of large monster predators including 2ft ++ dorado, armatus and other fishes lol

Wow, what a collection! Nice that it's not over stocked.

I think an important piece of info has been left out, such as at what size was the fish captured?

My thought process is if a monster sized fish that has been in captivity since it was 3-4" will not reach its full potential size as it would in the wild. On the other hand if a bigger sized fish was collected in the wild it would have a better chance at reaching its max growth then a smaller one in captivity.

Heres mine at around 18", growing at a slower pace than before due to the constraint of the width of the tank. Will be looking to upgrade for them in a few months
