Can someone give me some accurate info on the arapiama from where it lives to what it eats and how big they actually get. i googled it but didnt find much.

Search threads in this section. There are a couple of great arapaima threads with a world of information about raising young ones all the way to keeping adults in captivity as well as some info about them in the wild.

South America. Record length just under 15 feet. Eats just about anything that will fit in its mouth. Im sure there is a ton of info both here and on the net concerning this fish.

reaches an average length of 10 feet
lives in the amazon basin and its tributaries.
just a bit of info.
i don't think its proper to keep them in a tank smaller than 500G

Yeah, one I gave to my dad grew to 4 foot in length pretty quickly in a 750 gallon and already needed more room.
