[redtailfool]

Ok guys, just thought of an interesting q and a topic. Somebody will post a fish
and the members will give the maximum size they have ever seen one in an aquarium.

Let me start it off. One fish at a time please and please give facts not what you saw in an amazon expedition pic.

Silver Arowanas

i didn't say that was the max size. i have had mine for 2 yrs, and got it at
5". and it shows no signs of stopping.

I mentioned 24 as average in home aquaria. keep in mind that this discussion is limited to fish tanks at home.
