Default Indo-Pacific Tarpon

i just got an indo-pacific tarpon the other day. it's about 4 inches long and it's with a peacock bass about 7 inches long. i was wondering if there's anything that anyone would like to share with me about this fish. all i've heard so far is that it gets pretty big. thanks.

They can live in salt or freshwater. They do grow slow but the Florida state record for Tarpon is 243lbs so.....maybe a bigger tank? Average for a fisherman is 40-50lbs.

The Indo-Pacific Tarpon can reach 60" and weigh between 32 and 40 pounds.

The Indo-Pacific Tarpon (Megalops cyprinoides) is a little smaller than the Florida Tarpon (Megalops atlanticus)
