Its my private stocked reservoir. With arapaima, gars and other large species of fish. It's disconnected from major water ways. So no worries there. But I wanted to move this guy for a while but have been reluctant due to the fact that they die easily.

I've moved 30" piraiba before. Sold if off to a customer & it's 5-6 hours drive. In transport, they need large space to swim & good aeration. I think i use either 7x3x3 or 6x3x3 size tank. All need to be quick, once netted I run to the transport tank & release it immediately. It'll bang the tank wall but it'll calm after while. The fish still lives in his new home til now.

Will take that into account thanks for the tip!!!
 
Epic, epic stuff! Please report on all happenings with your lake-o'-monsters as much as you can, so we all learn with you and from you. Great, great effort! I had no idea. Do you have a thread on your stocked lake?
