ok il try. :D thanks for the advise.

good choice...... my gigas is in a 5000 and i need to expand it to 12500gal within the next 12 months or he will be out of room again. :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy:
 
All I have to say is "when it gets too big I'll donate it" is not a good plan. But hopefully you're off the idea now.
 
also if your going to get an arapaima make sure you check with a public aquarium and make sure that theyll take it when it outgrows your tank.

there is people on this board that keep that exact same fish, so dont be discouraged on getting it because someone else doesnt belive u should, from what i have read on them 500 should be sufficient, for a while, u can always save your money for something bigger if u realy like the fish........

think of the AG's long term well being. Dont think of yourself and get one because someone else has a fish you dont have. Those AG's they have most likely may not surive to be full grow or semi full grown adults.
