Holy crap! I never knew they got that big! Used to always see them in the river when I was a kid but they were about a foot long at most. They would swim by at the top of the water so you could easily see them. This was only a few miles up river from the ocean in brackish water.

farish - i used to keep Discus too, a few years ago. I had about 30-40 Cardinal Tetra's, a few small pleco's [bottom feeders] and eight Discus in a 90 gallon tank.
I found that the plecs would grow way too quick on all the left over beef-heart i was feeding the discus. Mind you, they were really good at cleaning the bottom of a bare bottom tank :thumbup:
It got to a point where i was quarantining baby cat fish every six weeks or so, cause they would stop feeding on algae on the glass and start upsetting my prize possessions - they would start getting all territorial...
I see if i can dig out some pics... and post em up.
Awesome thread btw, Fish keeping has always been a favorite of mines...

OK, I don't have any monster fish for sure, but I do have a pretty nice freshwater planted tank. Let me know what you guys think!
