Baby Blue Marlin from Pelagic's FB page...

Did you see this image of a baby blue marlin??? While some might think that it's a sailfish due to the exaggerated dorsal, it is, in fact, a baby blue marlin. It seems that in their early stages of development, blue marlin do actually grow a fan-like dorsal, much like that of a sailfish. Check out the illustrated examples posted by our partners at The Billfish Foundation for proof.

I would love that in a saltwater tank but i bet, if it did live, its growth rate would be too much for captivity.

That's awesome.
The closest I came to something like that, was one day I caught two bass that size. They were great in my 70 gallon tank for 2 years.

We have caught those in dip nets while offshore in the cockpit underwater lights at night.

Wow that's so cool. Did these survive or what?

If they would only stay that size I would have a aquarium full of them.

I'm pretty sure fish grow to fit their invironment when considering tanks.
They grow as big as the environment will allow them.
I may be wrong though.

You are wrong. Think about it.
There are record weights for fish. If they just kept on growing, I'm going for my 47lb largemouth.
