So to raise really big ones do you think raceway type tank would work. Long, comparatively narrow, all the inflow at one end and the out flow at the other?

narrow wont do as they need a good clearance for turning space. Their bodies arent v flexible.
 
Does anyone have some pics of theirs at 12"+? I have only seen pics of about 6"ers...
 
I was thinking 12'l x 4'w x 2't, 700g+, with one of those 4250gph pond pumps returning through a high flow spray bar at one end. Maybe use a 300g bubble up gravel bed and plant trough alongside for the filter. I am not planning on building it but I wonder if it would work until they got around 3'.
 
wes has some nice payara. couple different sizes. i believe he said he was trying to get a couple HUGE. i prefer the ATF but if you want a payara. wes has some. give him a call or go to his store. nice store by the way.
 
If you were to keep these guys to they do better in a group or on their own?
thanks
