View Full Version : My Little "Amazon" Monster Com
Gigas biggest is hitting 30 inches.
Diet mainly pellets and leftover chicken breast meat I fed to my other fishes.
Many have asked me about my silver update and here it is. All silvers got no droop eyes but one silver have a serious PLJ. But other than that all are staying peaceful in there.
Even the gigas are staying gentle in there without water splashing nor banging of glass since day one.

as always i love your fish. especially the ones im allowed to own.
but, with how extraordinarily spectaculor the colors are on your other fish, why are you gigas so, well, bad looking color wise?

Yeah, why the gigas is so drab color? At 30" is should have at least some color on the tail and back ... i have never seen a colorless gigas
Cool silvers though - pink lighting or are they actually pink?
I got no idea why the fish is so dull in colour. Could it be because my tank is all black all side including the base except the front glass?:confused: I believe so.

Nah, it is not the black background. My paimas had two glass sides and they were coloring up from drab to some coloration - notice the red bits on the scale and colorful tail and back fin ...before they all died of cold this winter =(

What causes PLJ? Is there anyway to get rid of it?

yea my silver is 15" it has slight PLJ only,it has perfect eye,barbels

Could it be because of the fish genes? Anyway, they are monsters.
nice community! how do you keep your silver from not having a drop eye??
Well, I just keep them as per normal together. Nothing special.

Yeah, most likely genetic - though i have seen on youtube - an arapaima with white patterns. Overhere these are called white-rose pattern, while the orange/red is red-rose pattern.
How long did you have your gigas for? Mine grew to almost 3' is less than a year! the growth was quite explosive and mind-boggling!!!

Mine are captive bred.
are your pimas captive bred too?
and where did u get them? im asking, cause if you got it at a fish store, its prolly bred to be pretty where as a fish farm is breeding them to grow as much as possible with the crapiest foods they can give it. or not so much crappiest, but least cheapest amount.
