ARAPAIMA GROWTH RATE !HELP!

[TLkmDN]

i currently have a 7 ft by 2.5 ft by 3 ft tank and want to buy an arapaima. How long will it take a juvenile to grow to about 3 feet? or at least big enough to live with 3 feet red tail catfish in my pond. thanks for ure help. DW guys my pond is pretty big.

I think probably a year but johnptc will chime in soon I'm sure..

I believe its only a year. I got to see arapaimag's tanks and his was 3 feet at a year if I remember correct.

how big is pond, exactly? Just curious. I agree, 1 year.

Not even a year - I'd say 7 months. A tank only 3 ft front to back will be BARELY wide enough for a 2 foot animal to turn in. They just don't like corners.

they can smack out your aquarium.
PUBLIC AQUARIUM=OK...

6 months in the tank den mebbe do the transfer? i'd say a year might be 2 long... and a paima MIGHT grow faster den tat if fed properly... i'm not saying it will but it MIGHT... i think half a year would be good enuff... cheers...
