No he jumped when people were nearby. He rammed the glass full speed constantly. Was a big aggressive fish regardless of the tank size, he got huge.

It is. He will more than likely be eaten by one of the 100+ bass in my pond. I would not like to see this happen. I've been waiting for the opportunity to get a snapper at this size for a long time. I now have the opportunity and I'd hate to give it up. I might put him back when he gets bigger or keep him, maybe sell him

A 55 can easily house a snapper to about 10" I will move him at about that size. I have A LOT of time until he reaches that size. So no worries yet. I'm gonna go do some snapper research online in a minute. I might look into making a couple hundred gallon plywood tank and get a big turtle tank going. I'd rather start my plywood experiences with smaller tanks rather than going straight into a 500+ gallon tank. Although I'm gonna have to plan it all out. Not sure of this yet so don't start complaining about my inexperience.

Should leave him in the wild where you found him at..... and start to worry about your oscar.
LOL a standard 180 is 2ft wide. There you go over estimating again! Ya he was the one over estimating all the time.. didnt also try making a native tank but you keep killing the fish before you made it home because you didn't have an air pump? I think you should leave nature alone. Also didn't you want to buy llike 3000 bass and 20 channel catfish to your pond because your loaded and with some rediculous number? Just asking BTW
I need to spark up my fish life
This thread is giving me cancer. How do you expect to move him to the 55g or a much larger one down the road when you STILL haven't moved your fish to a larger tank? Even at that size your 3 gallon tank or whatever it is in is too small for it. Hell a 10g tank is like $12-14 and I bet you could get a 20g or so for just as much off craigslist. If you can't do something as simple as that then you should really put him back. Sure hes small and a small tank may look like its fits but it doesn't. This reminds me of how many RES were abused and kept in those tiny turle "lagoons" and fishbowls because they were small and fit. Well what happens when that tiny turtle gets too big? It either suffers and dies or it gets dumped in a pond or something.
He claimed that he grew out the turtles.....so why he don't have these turtles right now since they are long lived?
