coolest fish of ancient fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i'd have to sat the coolest imo-depnding on what part of the world you live (or mega-income)would be a blue based X back arownana! Second Id pick arapaimas gigas.Of course I cant keep or afford either.
 
you can't go wrong with arowanas, everything a monsterfishkeeper's looking for that fish has got especially asian aros :)

unfortunately, snakeheads aren't ancient fish but i love snakeheads as well :thumbsup:
 
'Coolness' is certainly a matter of opinion. Arapaima gigas certainly has ample amounts of 'coolness' but you'd have to turn your entire house into an aquarium to house an adult! :) The Arowanas also have a high rating on the 'coolosity' scale as do the sturgeons.

For my money, however, you can't beat a bichir (Polypterus) for overall 'coolaciousness' and they're much easier to find a suitable aquarium for than a 15 foot Arapaima or a 20 foot Acipenser.
