That's awesome!!!!!!

I define monster as anything that can destroy feeders and make people gasp at its size or aggression.
 
I think being "monster" has alot more to do with a fish than just size. To me its a fishes personality, aggression, predation and oddness. Pretty much something that isnt mainstream to a 5 year old such as guppies, and neons. A fish that runs to great you at the glass or a fish that eats your other favorite fish because you bastard you forgot to feed him that nite, thats a monster fish to me :)
 
Monster is a matter of opinion. Some nonedumacated people bragged about Brutus the 6" Oscar. Whilst others may only think of monsters as fish that are theorecticly capable of eating humans.
We consider monster fish "2-4ft" fish because the mean tank size in this hobby does not allow for fish of that magnitude. If everything was smaller, a 12" oscar may be seen as Gigas size. However, if everything was bigger, 2-3ft fish would be a common occurance.

Wile I like big I will settle for mean, also I once had a candiru cat about four inches long that I kept in a one gallon pickle jar. In the wild they feed by vamparizing the gills of larger fish and sometimes enter the uretheras of mammals such as people. When they are in there they erect thier spines and feed on the blood. The only way to remove the is to chase then up into the bladder and then do surgery. They are native to the amazon basin. I think they qualify as monsters. In cold water tanks you can keep Pacific lampreys, they need a good water flow but eat just about any meat item and get about 3' long. They are escape artists and will latch onto you if you get careless while cleaning your tank. They should qualify not only on size but also on sheer yuck factor.
