just curious what the biggest one you've seen/saw pic's of?
i'm going to be getting one here soon as a rescue it's been living in a 30gal tank for 4yrs!!:eek: and it stretches from one side to the other!!:WHOA::WHOA: can barely turn around and has only one sorry a** hob filter that when he flicks his tail hard makes it lose prime!!
One of my bro's buddy's has it my bro didn't know he even had a fish. i saw that huge fish in that tiny tank and i was shocked that it was even alive.
i ripped into him.....:swear::swear::swear::swear:....:swear: ......:swear::swear::swear::swear:. then by the time it was over i had convinced him to just put it in my tank until he'd get a bigger tank for him. so hopefully in the next day or so i'll have him in my 210gal.!!!:mwave:
i'm pretty sure that he's a good 24"L and 6-8"H
here's the kicker of it all he bought the tank and the fish 4yrs ago at walmart

Good looking out !!! Glad your bro's buddy saw the light and is letting the fish go to a good and big enough home.
 
Wow. poor guy. My lfs has a 960 gallon tank w/a three foot albino iredescent shark. He was resecued from a 20 gal!!! His nose is all reddish and flat from bumping into the tank whenever he moved.

Glad your rescueing the poor guy!.
