ethnics;825549; said:t1kerman, thats a big one, but far from full grown. thats only like 5 years old or something. far from full grown. "record to date" still doesn't mean much. fish grow jus like humans, somewhere along the line, there could be a bigger one out there. u never know

i still say black aros stay much smaller than silvers i have never seen one over 34inch
