Nothing but the largest public aquariums or outdoor ponds can house these guys.

One day. . .

Bali's Safari Park has 2 or 3 of them with red tails and a few other tank busters all massive mean looking fish tanks only 8x3x3 i reckon. lol there right next to the red bellied piranas

[Peckoltia]

They wont last long in that size tank. They will either succumb to illness in one form or another. Or jump through the cover glass.

Posiedon - You do know that your username is misspelled? If it is meant to be the Greek god Poseidon.

[ruffaz]

If we are going to strat picking random fish in the universe i go meikong river cat fish spelling lol

I watched a good doco on the Mekong catfish on fox not long ago. Very interesting, but sadly the species is in a lot of trouble. Which is a real shame. Nothing in the fish world excites me quite like a catfish that grows as large as a car!

Another for the list would be the Asian FW whip ray, the scientific name escapes me for the minute. Massive animal, although their is some debate whether it is a true FW species.

[ruffaz]

yes they are huge them rays

i like teacup stingrays but i never really got why they call them that because they dont stay that size for long?

[Peckoltia]

Teacup refers to most freshwater rays. The name teacup is due to the size the pups are when commonly offered for sale. Teacup rays are usually motoros and hystrix.

[alex101]

i saw some for sale once and i thought cool they must stay that size but i saw the price tag and said forget it and istudied them up one the internet and it says they get huge so i let it rest

[ruffaz]

the motos we get here from lf suppliers generally dont go past the 2 feet mark in like 5 years

[Johny6210]

well if we''re talking any tankbuster i would have to say one of these bad boys http://t1.gstatic.co...0Y_xuNHzH9RyKp8 for a fresh water fish i dont think anything else comes close to the african giant tiger fish if so please name some

[Lachy]

I think the African Tiger fish are awesome, especially the goliath tigers.
I have never seen a set of jaws on a fish so mean, excluding sharks.
