Arapaima Gigas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It's all gone a bit quiet here..... Where you all gone..?! I know John PTC is a BIT busy building a new swimming pool....
 
WOW!!! NICE GIGAS
How big is he now?
 
Has it snacked on any cichlids or silver dollars yet?
 
Nope, he's doing very well with coming over to his feeding spot. We've got a team feeding so that we can distract the pacu with other food. They are the pesky ones.
 
Wow - look at the colour he's got! Looks a lot like Sam! Nice pics by the way Matt.
 
Yeah, he does look very close to Sam. I wouldn't be surprised if they came into the US about the same time (maybe even same source in SA).
 
Talking about coming from the same source, these "Golden" 'pimas are reputed to have been caught in the southern Amazon. Mexicana?
Anyone encountered one of these before?
Don't show John - he'll just want one and then he'll have to build an even BIGGER tank!
After the "Platinum 'Pima" debacle, maybe no-one will believe in Golden ones....!
