Very rare to see them in any aquarium. Not that they are rare in the wild, just rare to get your hands on for aquarium. I've read reports stating that they can grow to 5 lbs in their first year of life. That to me would be around 18-24". Good luck.

 

[njackson]

got any more info

 

[njackson]

what is the max size the grow in tank

would i 9ft or 10 pond do for a long time by himself .

i know they grow like 5ft in the wild , don't know what in a pond/tank

[njackson]

anybody

 

[lophius]

have you found one / some in the uk?

 

[zenyfish]

I was under the impression they are illegal in the UK. I think too big for 10' pond anyway.

 

[njackson]

in the uk for coldwater fish your need a licence probaly, like a channel catfish and i how long will stay in a 8/10ft pond, you think

 

[lophius]

they're not illegal at all and exempt from ILFA licensing requirements. I have never seen one imported from the states though in more than 20 years of fish keeping - I suspect that the restrictions are in place in the US rather than over here.
