Guys i will tell that again. I might buy a 5,000 gal pool for this purpose. Just tell me something besides "you can't do it" :) .
 
Try some smaller bass species, they won't spawn but they should for the bill.. peacock base, look into those....

Maybe ya missed it but try a pickerel. Thats as close as your gonna get and be able to keep it manageable.

*might* is not a choice with muskies...... You either upgrade or don't get one, don't put fish in a tank when you *might* upgrade........

I would say 1000g minimum for 1 fish and that's not ideal, it would not grow to it's full size and wouldn't be happy because they are a powerful ambush predator and 1-2 tail swings would put it threw the side of the aquarium lol

you gotta remember these fish get just as heave as an RTC and although less sticky and more flexible they are also longer and a more powerful and speedy hunter.

Redearsunfish although making a joke of it with the first post was only trying to help you out and believe me if you can't take criticism you are on the wrong forum. A lot of people wouldn't put it as nicely as that...

Why not try with pickrel? I don't know much about them but as far as I know they are almost identical just much much smaller

Thank you very much sir. There is no pickerel in Turkey. They don't need to become 3 ft to breed. They can breed at much smaller sizes. I don't have to keep them in my aquarium or pool when they are 3 ft long. I will release them to the nature when they are oversized.

You can maybe keep one in a 5000 gallon pond but breeding? You would need small section of a lake. Or just buy a lake at that point. No one here is going to be your enemy but as soon as you say anything about keeping a 4-5 foot long fish people are going to say no you can't because in 99% of the cases people wanting to keep fish like this can't provide an adequate home for it which leads to the fish suffering in one way or another. Not being mean but the short answer is no, there is no info to find or be given on this subject because it has never been done.

I am ready to do whatever it takes. I didn't want this thread to become a fight arena. I just want some answers and suggestions. I know that you are more experienced than me, and so i requested your guidance. What have i done wrong to make some of you so pissed off?
