I did for about 4 months. Was a 10 inch fish in a 125 gallon. Waaaaaay
stressed and checked out in a horrible fashion. It ate sorta, but I
wouldn't ever do it again... Might be better with a fingerling raised up
from scratch in large purpose-built aquaria, but even to fully support that
animal after 4 or 5 years, a 180 wouldn't be big enough imho. Two or three
feet is just too close for the way they feed ("vacuum style glide" as
opposed to pouncing and stopping like bass). So that kinda cuts out the
home-sized range for tanks, with a few exceptions that I've seen.

Mr Zarlinga, however, has a good sized system for them :)

I'd also be interested to hear any other's comments.
