some fellas in Guyana trying to save a set of those from a pond that is drying up.....

read that somewhere earlier this week.....

those fishes can grow to 3-4 meters

[DVSTT]

The arapaima is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. The last one I saw sold for about $4500.00

Where do you plan on keeping it OP?

Nah, I don't want to have that thing suffering in my pond.

Anyhow OP, the petshop in San Fernando, Nature's World, had one a while back.

Yea
They have 2 huge ones with some massive pacus in a pond.

When i inquired about getting one, they said that they get every so often and its a bit expensive.
I guess u can check with them and put in an order to secure 1 when they do get.

Be mindful...these fishes eat a lot so be mindful what you are getting into

What you plan on feeding them?

OP what size pond?

I'm wondering what would one do when an adult arapaima dies? How does one dispose of a 7ft long, several hundred pound fish?

I've had a pacu reach 3ft before, but those bastards ate through the electrical wire for my pond pumps, not me and them again.
