Hmm.. if you're talking about having huge fish as pets, you cant beat this story that my father told me lar... 
Rural parts of Kuching, road construction project. They had to take over parts of this fellow's land in order to build the road, etc. This fellow's got a huge huge backyard behind the house (big enough to have a huge pond in it). Well, some of the construction workers were relaxing by the pond during lunch time. One fellow decided to take off his shoes and cool his toes in the pond. While waddling around the edges (water up to his knees) he felt something huge bump against his legs in the really muddy water. Freaked out and jumped out of the pond screaming like mad. According to the owner whom my father spoke to later that day, he's got 5 fishes in there, each one between 3-4 meters long. Unfortunately my father not having an interest in these stuff is not able to remember exactly what species those fish are.
3 or four metre long fish (fresh water) could be arapaima(2nd largest fresh water fish) or thai mekong cat fish (which can grow 300kg+-)Rural parts of Kuching, road construction project.
