i got the pic off of a google image result...i was saying it was 12' if the blonde guys were 2' wide the fish would be 12' about...i am 6.5ft and my shoulders are 2.25' wide...i ajusted for me being bigger than the guy pictured...i don't know were the fish came from but in the wild there are always something around to eat so what is the diff on the lake?...what i mean by this is that if you go to any lake there are lots of small bait fish and sunnys ect. any preditor fish can eat at its own will thus the constant supply of food...the same can be said in arapaimas...i did see in south america hunt for big fish catch an over 12' er here is a nother pic of that fishin a vertical position...and a few more i found...

<this one is form a thi lake

they said on the thi fishing site some 770lbs and 9' 10" but i don't know if the main fish i question is from one or not...if it is it doesn't matter cause if you can house a 10' fish you could have the ability to house a 15' fish... when i get my 50'x75'x6' indoor pond figured out i will let you know how big my arapaimas get:naughty:...i will have this set up....but ethier way the potential is there for a big *** fish!

Thats a large one. Maybe 7-8 feet. but I haven't seen them outgrow 6 feet in captivity. My friend has three 5 footers.
