aropiama = aro in pijamas
 
Check on Goggle for Thailand fishing trips. Man you wont beleive what they can catch right off the shore.

I have seen a 10' and it was magnificent. Always on the move and always hungry
 
There are arapaima at the national Zoo in washington D.C... full grown, probably about 10ft long each...
 
you may search them in engines using words such as : arapima, arapima gigas, pirarucu and arowana sites as well. Some arowana sites have little info re them since they are cousins of the arowana ;)
 
the arapaima at the omaha zoo are full grown and atleast 10' or morethey are nice but you have to look down on them from like twenty foot up i believe peanut power posted pics of them heres the link the pic is the one at the bottom remeber that these pics were taken from atleast 20' up

here in Brazil the breeders don't use so big fishes!! but eventually people get one like this during fishery!! The bigger that i've seen was a 10 feet male taxidermized !!
 
i've seen some 10 foot specimens here our country. Do a search on the internet, there's a lot out there.
