he really got a hold of some arapaimas.. thats crazy.. Hella expensive things.. they are like an arowana but get a beautiful red tail..

Very cool aren't they? I was in there a week or so ago and was surprised to see they had these guys.
They are also known as Pirarucu. There is a shopping mall in Bangkok that has an artificial river running down the center stocked with several Arapaima. They are huge, and had to be close to 8ft each. I was up 3 levels from the water when I saw them and first thought they were Manatee. When I was next to them I was amazed to see this giant freshwater fish that I assumed must be from the Mekong River - I laughed when I read they were from South America.

Believe it or not those guys grew up on "TURKEY :shock: DOGS"...lol I've been to the original owners place a few times and recently when he tore down his 8500 gal tank the pima's needed a new home.. There's still a few HUGE cats looking for new homes if anyone wants any..
