How We Moved Our 5 Foot Arapaima Gigas

[johnptc]

That pic where your arapaima is curled up floating at the top of the tank and the one that follows might just be the scariest pictures of fish I've ever seen.

Do you have any ideas as to why you needed to add so much tranquilizer?

the pima is an air breather most fish would adsorb it thru the gills

i personally love pimas i have a 4 footer and they are a pain to move and eat everything but they pay themselves off

What an amazing fish, and a tough job. Well done.

INTENSE!

Good hands on approach. Sometimes fish need that extra push, credit your son with handling the task, like a pro. P.S. Great looking fish of enormous proportions.
