Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, What is the largest fish you have / had? I don't keep any other large fish but my uncle has some seriously large umbees in his 160, in his San Francisco apartment. What about you? Show some pictures if you want.

KBOzzie59 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I've had a fairly large King Salmon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I think discus are the largest fish I have ever kept. These have grown from 1/2 inch in July to about 6 inches now. But I am waiting for @Taylor Blake to chime in. I have always wondered how big 'Bubbles' is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smrgle Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I have a 16 inch (estimated) clown knife. I got it at 4 inches and it grew about an inch a month for the first 10 months, and then two inches in the following year. He graduated from a 1.5 inch pvc y fitting to a 4 inch fitting. This is Jaws from last May, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Blake Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 bubbles is my alligator gar that that lives in a 800 gallon pool pond for in my pet room. He is as of last measurement 32 inches and has grown sense then so my guess is he is about 3 feet. He is a little on the small side for a gar I suspect he might have a little stunting(from when I had him in high school) and is a male. I don't feed him to make him a monster so he will probably max out at around 4-5 feet. I have had him for almost 10 years. The picture of him in the green tub is an old one from about 5 years ago but I used the same tub to move him last and he was just big enough to touch both sides. The other pictures are also from longer then 5 years ago. I need to get some new photos of him lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 My current giant is probably a either a female swordtail or male betta. I'm trying to stick with small/nano fish. I used to have a 14 inch peacock bass in my younger days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you by chance get it online? If so I'd love to know the seller. I'm hoping it get a single goldfish for my 27 hex, and that (oranda?) is just the sort of fish I'm hoping to get my hands on.

It is actually changing colors, the lovely black trimmings are disappearing into white. Oh well, still pretty enough. Sorry I can't help you with getting one, I bought it in a local pet market. Lots of goldfish here in China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec2cool Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My largest fish is my Gold Gourami, he's just about 5 inches though he does look small in the pic. He's not a fan of the phone-camera and is all the way in the back of the 29g 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
