I am just curious as to what you guys are feeding your arapaimas when you first got them and what you are currently feeding them now. Also if you guys dont mind posting pictures of your arapaimas. Out of curiosity did anyone get an arapaima that was imported from thailand rather than south america.

Are there really that many people that own them? I've only seen a few smaller one's on here and people are always being scolded because of how big they get.

Do you have one? What size of tank do you have? That's too small? Nah just kidding. I didn't want you to think everyone was ignoring you. Hopefully you'll get some replies soon.

A friend of mine recently got two aripaima (which I think he's crazy for doing) and he has them eating massivore pellets from day one. They have been growing EVERYDAY. I love these fish but yikes. Sounds like they get more out of hand faster than even a RTC lol

I sold a bunch to a guy on here that were eating pellets..live fish is an investment in my opinion..cheaper if you get then in dry foods..they seemed to eat about any thingi would throw in though..if this helps..lol
