Does anyone on here keep them? Watched rivers of the sun documentary, these things are to be respected, I hope no one has them in a tiny aquarium, pond if anything.

Anyone who keeps these, id love to see your setups.
 
Check for JohnPTC's thread, as well as ArapaimaG's

They grow up to 5 metres though, who the hell has that room! wow!

Some do have that type of room, but very few

I'm a bit dubious of the 15 feet long thing, but JohnPTC has a 10,000 gal tank and ArapaimaG has a 50,000 gallon tank, and they both have multiple arapaimas.

Flip that John has 10K and ArapaimaG has a 15K AND 50K
 
Luckily I used my edit powers, so no one will ever no.
