Yeah we definitely need the measurements. I think someone on flickr, or several people had pics of the same fish. I'll have to look them back up, but didn't seem that it was 6' in the pics. Never know though, in that large of a tank, if it was 20+ years old could be a possibility, but that would make it larger than this largest specimen recorded, compare and then tell us if it looks bigger.

The one pictured above is only 5' 1"
