I just saw for the first time a fish store selling giant trevallys(GT), does anyone know if they can go in fw and or how big they get + growth rate
Giant Trevally!?!

Yep, that guy
If they can be housed in freshwater and they grow slowly I can house one in a pond until it hits about 18 in, of course, I’d have to find a place for it to go after that before I purchase! Don’t worry I’m responsible
I was surrounded by a school of hundreds, maybe thousands, of some species of Trevally once while snorkeling in Hawaii. Awesome experience watching them eyeball me as they passed, diverting only enough from their course to flow around me like a river of fish. To be honest, it scared me a little at first, but when I saws they weren't paying me much attention, I just enjoyed the experience. I think they are estuary dwellers when young, so they probably do tolerate lower salinities to some degree when juveniles. Don't know if keeping one until it grows out and requires saltwater would fall in the "responsible" category though. 
What to do then? are they good eating?

Thanks, I thought it was a similar situation to tarpon where they stay smaller in freshwater and do well. Also they cost 150$ so I definitely won’t be getting one anytime soonI was surrounded by a school of hundreds, maybe thousands, of some species of Trevally once while snorkeling in Hawaii.
