[vinson lim]

To: all Arapaimas lovers & members of MFK,

Well, jst start this thread to share out.
This guy is frm my country, MALAYSIA.
i accidently found this webpage while i was searchin in Yahoo for some pic of an arapaima.
He bought them only for us$ 80 each (after my convert), when they were only 4 inches that time.
This is a person who loves arapaima gigas very mch, as he said.
He keeps them for more than 12years, i guess.
HE keeps them in a pond, which built in his own house.

PICs below, hope u guys enjoy...

i dint read any additional info bout their length.

But, as we can see (frm the pic), they were about 5 ft to 6 ft, i guess....

So 7ft after 12 years? Perhaps they slow down growth over 5-6ft?
