Huge African Arowana

wow, thats really nice looking .... is this also known as the Nile Arowana?

I've never heard it referred to as that but it would make sense as a nickname.

Thats the same fish although I have not heard the fish being called that in quite some time.

The black coloration on that African Arowana is awesome! One of the best photos of an African Arowana I have seen.

In Sacramento, Captial Aquarium had an African Arowana in a 1000 gallon for over 10 years and their Arowana eventually maxed out in size at about 3 feet. It was by far one of the most active Arowanas I have ever seen. The fish seemed to feed all day long.
