Everyone who is thinking about getting an Arapaima Fish should think about it for at least 6 months, everything I researched about the fish and growth rate was intimidating but me being a construction worker and building things for 30yrs, I still had my wings clipped, first it was a 40 gallon, 2 months, then a 120 gallon 6 months, 9 months in 500 gallon, 1 .5 yrs 4,000 gallon , now , and planning a 30,000 gallon near future, guy's put your research in , it's not for the fant of heart
