Hi, this is GregONeill, I have not posted here before, but would like to ask for help in finding breeders with Arapaima gigas, Pirarucu, for sale. I am looking to setup a commercial aquaponics operation on my farm project, and I see that fish farmers in Peru are looking to get Arapaima as a fish farming subject to save them from extinction. They grow quickly, and have over 50% of their weight as meat of good quality comparable to cod. Can anyone here help me find fry from sources in the States? Thanks.

welcome Greg... you will find alot of information here... just scout around and ask.... hope you enjoy mfk and find everything your looking for... I have only heard of these 2 sources having arapaima gigas, and neither is a breeder. Maybe you can trace them backwards though.

This guy started as an ebay store, I PMed him once and found out that he had Arapaima Gigas, he now runs a better site. I don't see Arapaima on it but that doesn't mean he forgot who the dealer is.
