well im hopping to get something over 300 gal some what like my 200 but longer or maybe a good sized pond and im not relying on any one at all to take him when he gets to large for me to house im more likely going to keep him for life I still have a huge pond tub thing I used to keep a 4.5' cayman alligator in thats got to be close to 350-400 gal that I can always us, and iv herd the owners of the lfs tell customers to just throw their fish in a river or pond or something if he wont take it if he know they cant sell it or make any money off of it so I wouldnt say its just people who get them its more of the people who sell them as well.
