It is said that arapaima gigas can grow to 16 ft , but the weight of this fish would not exceed 600 lbs. The giant mekong catfish (pangasianodon gigas) are often caught 10 ft long and weght 660 lbs. The other dog eating mekong catfish (pangasianodon sanitwongsai) also can grow to 10 long and 660 lbs weight.

Nile perch (Lates Niloticus) have been caught individual of 340 lbs!

The giant siamese carp (catlocarpio siamensis) having published maximum weight 660 lbs! But this specimen only 7 ft lft long. Some individuals have been caught 10 ft long., but not weighted. From the size we can estimate the weight of these 10 ft specimens should be around 950 to 1250 lbs!!!! :eek: :eek:
