NEW FISH : Atlantic Tarpon : Megalops atlanticus

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If I had a 15k gal tank there would be a few of those in there. Are they saltwater or freshwater? The Atlantic part is confusing me.
 
theyre both :)

most tarpons tend to migrate between fresh, salt, and brackish environments. although most larger one are found in higher salinities :)

great pick ups, have always had a soft spot for these giant game fish :headbang2
 
Interesting pick up. I would be far to freaked out to keep a tarpon of any meaningful size in an aquarium. They jump like crazy and are very strong. I saw one that was 100 pounds plus at the skyway the other day.
 
I saw one of these up in the toledo zoo. It was easy 4' swimming with a 5'+ pima and some big cats. Made me want one. Pretty cool looking.
 
very nice LI.
also it was a pleasure meeting you @ the socal meet........
