I wish I could see both of your setups. I have never seen a live arapaima, just a stuffed one in a natural history museum.

YES im talking about the flooded aquaria. my dad and a bunch of his friends got involved to start it up a couple of years ago. the arapaima has a grown a lot. now we have 3 in the exhibit. there is also a huge wallago leeri in the underground rainforest tank.
this is the official website. i think it has some pictures but they r not that great. im actually visiting there tomorow so ill take pictures for myself to show you guys more of the freshwater beasts. : http://www.klaquaria.com/faqs.html
On that website it appears the Amazon tank is a cylider set up.... is that correct?

oh no no the amazon set up is not just one tank. it is more like a whole section of the exhibit consisting of a multitude of tanks. the arapaimas, RTCS and other are kept in a larger box-like aquarium whereas the smaller knifefish and others are kept in that large cylinder. there is also a kind of below ground pond where there are giant turtles, knifefish and the wallago. ill take pics tomorow morning. my plane flight home is in exactly 6 hours!!! i cant wait.

Easy on the non-english as 1st language people.. he probably meant the tank is a rectangle shape not that he's keeping them in a 125g..
