Yer tarpon have to be much bigger to breed, they can become a very big fish later on in their lives.

They have a growth potential of 1.5m and 18kg (Although I do question that). I wouldn't worry too much about a bigger tank just yet though, Ms MassPoly, that fish was apparently 44 years of age.

They'll be quite old by time they get to 2 feet or more anyway, especially ones in captivity.
