well first of all why have koi with an arapaima when you can have other really cool tropical fish with it if you have enough cash to get an arapaima then get some other big tropical fish

yep! they can be on a community. ive seen it and i know the owner. in fact, its a moderator on some other forums that im active. though, theres a catch. you have to feed the paima adequately. coz for what ive heard, it eats a koi every other day when starved. the paima was about 5ft and the kois at 1.5ft btw.

Hi .. everyone .. anyone has experienced or seen arapaima mixing with koi fish ? ...... Thanks . in advance ....
No way.. The moment arapaima gets bigger than the koi, it will be a fantastic eating session.. Arapaima can eat anything that fits with their mouth, i saw a video of arapaima (39") eats an arowana around 14-18".. There's no way a koi can defend itself to a monster like arapaima..
