Arapaima Gigas

[Zoodiver]

btw zoodiver, i love the work you did with the aquarium display at the mall of america, I liked those two big tanks better than the entire shedd aquarium

Thanks.

heard they dont find those gigas that big anymore in the wild due to it being overfished

True... take all the 'big' genes out of the pool, and the over all population becomes physically smaller.

Or build an indoor tank similar to John's or Mike's.

my wife kill me, she thinks fish keeping is a waste of time and money i'm still trying to figure out how we got married were the complete oposite but it seems to work

1. Small tank.
2. High nitrate level.
3. Inadequate feeding.
4. Lack of water changes.
5. Inadequate filtration.

That's how most people stunt their fish.

we should find these people that intenionally do this and put them through the same treatment

i think when you hit the point where u cant afford it its too many, but even im sticking to a set amount....

if you can afford it why stop

i know this sounds crazy, but for me, i need a stopping point. i think thats where it crosses into work vs. fun
