So where do you buy your monster fish? Not your run of the mill walmart, petsmart fish, but the real monsters. No need to post if is illegal, but i'm curious as to how some of you acquired arapaimas and paddlefish. Internet, special stores, wholesale? Finding good fish is hard nowadays.
 
i get most of my fish from petstores.
i have seen arapaiams at petstores for like 350 and stuff. i have boughten fish offline before but i dont do it often
 
Ocean Blue in California, Orange County, Anehiem, has some great stuff. JohnPTC shops there, and he's got lots 'o monsters.

Here in Australia, the biggest monster I usually see is an Oscar, the occasional Jardini, Frontosa's, Sailfin Plecos, Bala Sharks, Black Sharks, Clown Loaches.
 
i got most of mine from people on ere and the sellers on here. also ceck ou classified adds in our area, you never know wat you might find. takes a while sometimes but just cecking wat people ave on here or what people find for sale always di it for me. just keep at it and some sweet monsters will pop up sooner or later. but wat i like to say is no better place to fin monster fish than mfk lol
 
i import my own, people in the uk often ask me to bring things in for them.
