[joel]

yeah they do. Not a bad looking fish. Does anyone know how large they grow?

Heterotis niloticus is the only African representative of the Arowana family. This is a filter feeder, consuming mostly plankton and algae, but it will also take larger items. they get 3' and will eat pellets I had one for a while very cool fish grows pretty fast
