:affraid: Wow, he is a big boy. You see profiles written about fish reaching certain sizes and you kind of think that its kind of a joke (like a 24" jag). Maybe in nature they reach those lengths... but every now and then you see a monster that makes you think that they were right about the size.
That fish looks to be 15-16" if I were to guess.

He's gotta be pushing 16", I think hes not too deformed , cause he's just in quaranteen, not growing up in there.
:Awe come on bro I wouldn't ever keep a fish this size in a 12" tank! If I saw this guy in a 12" tank at someone house they would get the old :ibox: He was only in quarenteen. He has a solo 120 gallon to himself to live out his days happy, I moved him last night. He was a rescue and one hell of one at that!fishman09 said:

ps - no one has guessed his size yet, he is 12" (technically 13" but I round down) snout to caudal tip. It funny how fish can seem so much larger in pics.
Oh no worries I knew what you meant bro. Thanks for the comments on my tanks! The previous owner had him for 6 years and raised him his whole life in a 80 gallon on earthworms and hikari, he was very well cared for. The guy was having a kid so his tanks had to go. His tank was the RTM pairs tank so I have to build a new tank for them now so I will have two builds going on this year. Good times..! :beer:fishman09 said:
Thanks for al the comments on this guy everyone! I'm just glad he didn't end up in some kids 55 gallon.

It's cool that you picked him up as a rescue. One of the nicest looking Midas I've seen for sure. Totally agree with you on this fish potentially ending up in someone's 55g if you hadn't picked up. What a sexy looking brute!

Thanks guys! I'll get some updated pics and vids of him up soon now that he is all settled. I have a friend with a DSLR coming over tomorrow to get some better shots. Here is a decent one I took the other day with my P&S:vancouver_98683 said:
