The Gold Trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus) is a fish recommended only for someone who is truly prepared to give it what it requires. This fish gets VERY large, and should not be attempted in anything less than a 250 gallon tank, but would do best in an aquarium larger than 350 gallons. This fish will reach a length of nearly 3 feet when fully grown, and it needs a lot of room to get around. In captivity this fish should be fed meaty frozen and live foods.
This fish does best when kept as a school, which will require an even larger tank. This fish is not for the average hobbyist and is primarily intended for purchase by public aquariums or by hobbyists with extremely large tanks.
