Help in estimating age of baby Arapaima

[okeeteecorn]

Hi everyone!
I realise the size of a fish depends partly on how well it feeds. However, on the average, how old would a 7 inch long baby Arapaima probably be?
Thanks for your help.

It can't be very old due to their growth rate and ultimate size.

I do not beleive there is an arapaima forum. Most people talk about Gigas in here anyways.

Okeeteecorn....welcome to MFK! Can't wait to see some pics of a baby Arapaima!

I wish I had the space for an araipiama, but who doesn't wish that?

Yes, I actually live in a big house (not an apartment) with a garden too if that's what you really want to know.
