Has anyone kept a murray cod? I have been thinking about getting one for years.
 
what are they
 
i want one
 
I've got one, it is only 4 inches at the moment but it ate my 6 inch bala today, i knew they had big mouths ,but I didn't know they were that big. You should see his stomach it looks like it is going to explode. I just want to know if anyone eles has grown one of these beasts up to a good size. Vry slow growers and it wont eat anything else but feeders.
 
surprised they'd be such growers, having such a large max size and voracious appetite.

they are critically endangered, according to fishbase.org

They can live up to 100 years, and they are endangered but with all the aqua culture going on these days , they can now be found in the aquarium trade for little cost.
 
Do you live in Australia ashdavid??
