check out the aforementioned paima keepers tanks, they dont necessarily have to be ponds. you just have to be baller status to afford the tank they need. at full grown plan on atleast 5k gallons.

Thing I wonder about people who buy big fish like AGs and alligator gars is what's the point? I mean, sure you can create a pond for them, but then you can never see them save from above only. I want to see my fish in a glass aquarium where I can see them in their full glory. I would take no pleasure at all in keeping them if I can only look down from above to see them.

Fish like the aforementioned two definately require ponds.

Most large tanks unless in a zoo are more like "ponds" with viewing windows. You can make above ground ponds with viewing windows. It's a little harder than a normal pond yes but it's possible.
