Wow that doesn't even look real. I was really debating one of these but I'm thinking my aro would become a feeder.

there are some big ones around but very rare in the hobby! the above pic looks to be at least a 3 footer? i heard they are quite peaceful with tankmates that don't fit in their mouth!

here are 2 videos of XXL GATF. 1st vid located in taiwan and 2nd a 66 cm goliath from japan! amazing specimens. look at their teeth!!!

Is it true that they only eat live foods or can they be trained?
I would love one these but you'd probably need a pretty big tank for an adult.

Just like any predatory fish, they can be trained onto pellets or frozen. Patience is the key!
