I have a pond in the backyard here in FLA. Its about 2500 gallons, id love to put a Gigas in there. Anyone ever tried it and if so, where do you get them? I cant find any commercial websites at least. Please link if you have any info! THANKS!!
 
pretty sure they are illegal in FL. I think the only bony tongue fish you could legally buy is a silver arowana. But i may be wrong.
 
They are illegal to have in FL.
Getting paper work is a pain. Even as an aquarium, it took a months to get paperwork just to transport one out of the state back to MN.
 
I guess I can always dream then lol. I was hoping to get him big an fat so I could donate him to the Jacksonville Zoo. They have a HUGE ONE!

THANKS!
 
did you ask the zoo if they wanted another one?
In general, Zoo's are not interested in our over sized pets.
 
That pond and your yearly temperatures.................................you are open to better things than that. Depending on the dimensions you can even go with elongated fish.
 
Yea even though you can't have them their are way better things you can stock your pond with...check up with Nick at NE-Cichlids for some monsters...you should get a couple cats in their and possibly a few pbass
