What should be the arapima pond filtration setup.or filtration is not necessary just frequent partial water changes..in pond what else should be there to make it natural environment for the arapimas
You really can't compare an arapaima to an orca. Not even in the same league. Compared to orcas, arapaimas are plain dumb - they're still relatively intelligent animals, especially for fish, but nowhere near an orca. Also they are a sluggish, air-breathing fish that get to about 11 feet long and 450 pounds. The orca is an agile, quick, constantly-roaming dolphin that can reach 30 feet long and over 15,000 pounds. So saying that nobody can keep these fish is simply a lie - plenty of people in this hobby have enclosures large enough for this fish.There is no properly housing a pima. They just don't belong in the hobby just like Orcas don't belong at seaworld
Arapaimag? He's got a 52,000 gallon and a 15,000 gallon. IMO his tanks aren't big enough, most of the gallonage in his tanks comes from the insane height on them. They're certainly massive, but not exactly big enough for a full grown arapaima. Would make for an awesome artificial reef tank though!The keeper I was thinking about has a 50000 gallon enclosure for his,
