There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Size
Goliat African Tiger Fish are the largest species of African tiger fish. The average adult specimen will be two to three feet long and approximately 25 pounds. The current world record is 99 pounds, three ounces and was caught in 1987 by Daniel Neuville. In an aquarium, it is exceptionally rare to see a specimen larger than two feet. These things have attained huge popularity thanks to their inclusion in an episode of River Monsters with Jeremy Wade, you find them in the huge Congo River and  tributaries they are very difficult to catch they are very powerful, their jaws are armed with huge teeth almost as big as the ones of the Great White Shark.
