Apparently my arowana is going to be over 6 feet long!

Bigfoot, the lochness monster and 4 plus foot long silver arowana. They all have people claiming they exist, yet no one ever can provide documented proof.

Maybe the LFS manager has small feet.





Of coarse, I'm sure if he had any for sale he'd tell ya that they are fine for a 55g.

I understand employees not knowing everything about fish, but every LFS should know the maximum sizes of oscars, plecos, arowana, RTC and ID sharks.

My black aro is 6 feet long, but my camera is broken... and will never be fixed...

Actually the Igfa record is about 47" so i think a 4 footer is easily possible in the wild but not so sure about in tanks

go on youtube and type river monsters: arowana, he catches a beast!!

no wait its an arapaima sorry

At least the manager tried making small talk with you. Maybe he's a saltwater guy and only knows bits and pieces about freshwater monsters.

It could have been worse. I've had popular MFK members in my fish room telling me that my african arowana is going to need a 1,000 tank before. Explaining the difference between an afro and an arapaima did not sway them.

Sometimes it's better just to let things go. And no, I won't name names.
