Thats a big ole boy! I googled real quick and couldn't find any shops selling one. They seem to be a big food fish, so it could be hard to find one for sale for the aquarium.

Mabey keep an eye out on aquabid. Check with some online vendors who may deal with wild caught species in the same region and for the right price they may could get one for you. Local fish clubs mabey, but unlikley I would think. Good luck in your searches!

And for those who would like to see one but to lazy to google it yourselves, check this link out. ;)
