I reckon on how much get flamed depends on post amount/how well known you are. Neo used to jam all his potentially huge fish into small tanks, or crowd them, no one ever got up him, all positive comments =/ Technically his 600 is too small for a barramundi, let alone 3, because they're shiny gold or platinum doesnt make a difference. =/

Not a personal attack, just being used as an example/martyr. Keep an eye out, you'll notice it more and more.
 
hell no dont be daft youl be left with a dead fish and a broken tank !! just put it in a pond ! if u realy want one !!
 
So this post made it 9 pages with only 2 posts from the OP?

Thats pretty impressive. i really hope he's joking.
 
i think that the op's question has been answered. Please refrain from additional offtopic debate/comments.

you have a good point. but, you must admit that we are providing the best invoronment that we can, and not purposely stunting our fish. im sure any of out ATF keepers would jump at the chance of getting a free, monster high current pond just for their ATF.

Hydrolycus = payaras

ATFs = Hydrocynus ;)

There are a few giant Hydrolycus out there, most people actually want and provide them with what they need to attain a huge size - than again, I suppose Hydrolycus armutus are kind of blessed with their price tag. Most of the Hydrolycus that die soon do not die due to a small tank ;).

Hydrocynus grow incredibly slow and have simply not been in the hobby long enough for anybody to grow a huge monster yet ;).

If you are quoting examples, I think Hepsetus odoe would be a far better example than either of Hydrolycus spp. or Hydrocynus spp. ;).

As for OP - with your plans, no.
 
you can put a little fish in a small tank, but this tank are only temporal, and the arapaima need a very big tank, the arapaima it a gigant fish, one pool it a good option, and has glasses better
