hey guys today i was checking out all the local fish stores for some bargains and came across this huge 16 inch barra they do get alot bigger but. he was only in a small tank 2ft cube tank and it had 110 bucks writen on the glass so i tryed to bargain the owner down but only got him to do 100 bucks so i got him lol

which means more tanks lol. im getting a new tank soon for all my oscars to go into dads making it for me so its a freebie yay lol
so for now i have him in my 3 ft x 2ft for about 2-3 weeks befor he gets his new home with his other tank mates

I have no idea how big they get in captivity but don't they grow over 3 feet in the wild?

yeah they can but its very rare more like 2ft but in captivity they will not grow much larger then about 20 inches or more but depends on the size of the tank
