very cool you shoul be fine for a while if there only 3 or 4 inchhes. i thinking of geting some someday
srry about the 800gal+ its realy gonna be 2250gal its 9x9x4 srry i just found out on i staid thatn on page 2800gal pond is too small for even koi, let alone a tiger muskie in the long term. Generally speaking, for fish which grow to 12inches or more, the tank/pond should be at least 4 times the maximum length of the fish to find the length, and to find the right width of the tank/pond, it should be 2 times the adult maximum length of the fish.
I'm no expert on these fish, but i've heard they'll grow to 3ft+ in 4-5 years time, so an 800gal pond may surfice for a while, but are you really going to want to upgrade the pond in the near future? Lengthening/widening ponds isn't easy work. It will probably be best to avoid this beast of a fish if you don't see yourself giving it a much larger pond in the future.

they can be kept at that temp for a while but they grow the fastest in water around 64-66 but do well in water 58-69f they also live much longer when kept in cool watervamptrev;1002172; said:

Tigers grow alot faster then typical muskies but dont get as big when full grown, still a huge fish reguardless though.
