Here is an idea, don't. Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. 200 gallons will not even cover the first year of growth. Mine grew from 2-3 inches to 18-20 inches in about 6-7 months. They are called tank busters for a reason. And spawning works on an industrial scale in enormous ponds, not an aquarium. You would also have to hit all the stores in your area to find that many at once. Then they would just get more and sell them to others who would not be able to care for them and end up suffering or being released.Originally Posted by foodchain
