Huge african arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hahaha nice pic:)

thanks everyone, yes i do believe this is the closest living relative to the arapima(correct me if i'm wrong please!)

ah phil, it was ultimately with your advise(and solomons') that i've succesfully raised so many of these critters. i bought this guy at this size though. i don't yet have a grow out for fishes between 12-18"..and they usually get shredded up pretty badly or killed if added right into the main tank.
 
Nice! Very jealous, definitely a 'someday' fish for me. Thanks for sharing the pics, don't see enough of these IMO.
 
thanks man you should seriously fly over here they're all over the place.(okay exaggerating much, but the lfs i got em from has 2 more for sale:P) many of the fishes you have are 'someday' fishes to me too, maybe we can trade:D
 
Ey Xander, the fish on the first page is not the same as on the second page, is it?
The one on the first page looks so very big to me.
Even bigger as Oddball's.

Is it really the same fish?
 
very niiice alex, niiice beast u got there
makes me miss my little dude, too bad i can't keep one till i am a little more settled in one place

@phill: the one u own is a true beast there
 
haha yeah, hopefully it won't. main reason i paid premium price for it was so i'd be able to skip 12-16"...and have a defect-free fish
