Arapaima Plushie created by PurpleRubyRed

[PurpleRubyRed]

I am so excited about posting this! It is not only my first arapaima plush, but the first plush I've ever made from scratch.

Being a prototype, it needs some improvement. It's a little bit short for an arapaima. Their bodies are so long and graceful, so that needs to be shown a little more. But it's still going to be cute-looking. I love these fish so much and since I do not have the space for a real one, I will make plush fish instead! I am going to bring it to the Monster Fish Konvention to show off my love for these amazing giants.

Looks cool, but reminds me more of a betta than it does an arapaima.

I have been making betta plushes too, so they were still in my mind when making this one!

Kinda cute. My daughter would love that. You should do one life size.

Design could use a few tweaks, but work is solid.

Thank you! A life size one is my final goal. When it is that long, I will have to make it much more accurate to the real thing.

Thank you. I will keep improving it until it represents the fish better, but still in plush/cuddly form.

Looks cool, you should make more species (red tail cat, arowana, gar, etc) and I would totally buy one

I want this one.


You mentioned the length needing to be longer, I would also make the mouth able to open!

Oooh, that one is cool. I would love to have a catfish plush. It looks like it came from the same company that I bought my piranha plush from. I have so many fish plushes, but not quite enough yet. My collection needs more monsters. Do you have any idea where that one can be found?
