MOnster Sawfish + video...

[CDM]

This is a 12~13ft (roughly) rare sawfish in a public aquarium of Taiwan, it's the same aquarium that keeps 20+ big arapaimas (I posted few days ago). It's unique with its long spiky nose (saw like), the sawfish uses it as its weapon by swinging it violently. Wait till you see the video taken by neoprodigy you'll see.

Another shot I took a month later (they saved a dolphin from the beach, and put it in the same tank with divider between them)

Sorry for the poor quality this run, especially for the 2nd shot. The flash inhibited around that tank for the 2nd trip (the dolphin was not stable yet.

They use fine mesh/triple layer net that make them don't see each other.

That tank is probably over 30X70 ft, still looks a bit small for it.

The arapaima and sawfish are in different tanks ... this is especially important as that sawfish is a saltwater species
