Setting up a new 240. I've found an arapaima gigas locally at about 5". How fast do these monsters grow? My tank's footprint is 72"x30"x25". I'm trying to figure out if I could grow this guy out to say 18" to 20" - how long would that take?

These guys if fed well can reach 4 feet in the first year....
I'd definately find a home. It would be a mission. Wouldn't release it. Btw - I've got 10" and 12" Columbian sharks in need of a new home - brackish or marine only. These guys won't survive in freshwater.
In 9 months you have to move them. These fish are not suitable for the home aquarium. Buying these fish just promotes bringing more in to sell by the LFS, very irresponsible IMO
