Pics of your arapaima gigas

[Dolck]

Hi there!
Im having some trouble finding stuff in this site, so i figure i start my own post! Im curious of you who keeps arapaima gigas. I want to see pictures of them, how old they are and where they and you live. Im from Sweden and Im the only one who owns one here =) pretty cool =)

I´ve had him/her for about 1,5 year. He/she refused to eat other than frozen red worms, so he/she is still pretty small. About 55cm.

just scroll down, till you find him/her:

pity you don't live in my Hometown, a local shop got a batch of babies (8-10") on sale for $100 each.

Big Al's Kitchener got them in 2 weeks ago and sold them all to one guy who moved them all to someone in Alberta.

They got some in as well? They seem to be popping up all over. Oakville BA had some, but they were only 3"ish. All gone now. I know where two went, wondering where the others went.
