Do they really reach 2m in captivity?
 
They probably could if their enclosure was massive enough.

Im goin comtank it in my 6,600 gal tank with the following :
1x Super red arowana 45cm+
3x Pbass temensis 50cm+
3x pbass mono 40cm+
1x pbass azul 30cm+
2x oscar 25cm+
2x oxydoras niger 35cm+
1x endli bichir 40cm+
1x golden dorado 40cm+
1x flowehorn 25cm+
1x IT datz 35cm+
2x longnose gar 45cm+
1x irwini catfish 30cm+
3x bd rays 40cm+

I suspect i gotta take the oscar and flowehorn out from the tank eventually?. Will the combo with paroon shark works for long term?..
The shark im gettin is just 5cm big, i am goin to have it in the grow out tank till it catches up the size with the big boys

That sounds awesome do you have this tank already,what are the dimensions?
I adopted a two foot parroon from a fellow member for a short time and it ate a ten inch peacock bass so I would suspect that most free swimming fish could be fare game.
 
Tank size 800cm long x 210cm wide x 150cm tall.
 
I was just trying to visualize how big such a tank would be.
