wow that pond is incredible. Is the arapaima in there? wouldn't that red tail catfish eat him?
nah man the arapaima passed away..he jumped out and by the time i found him it was too late :( he was about 2 feet at the time...a lot of my pond fish r wayyy smaller than my RTC...but sumhow they all get along fine...never even had an attack..its weird...maybe cause they r all fat :)))
 
hey guys just wanted to give u an update....im gona try again with the arapaimas...this time im going to buy a pair of them. the reason for my change of heart is because my mum agreed to extending my pond to double its size into her rock garden that she no longer apreciates. therefore i should be able to house full grown arapaimas now. i was wondering if its possible for my to keep baby arapaimas with baby stingrays...any opinions?

any opinions?? thanks :)
 
Depends on one major factor - getting both fed. I've seen some arapaima that are aggressive eaters - and won't let food get down to the rays. I'd also kept rays that will swim up mid column and aggravate the arapaima so much while feeding that the arapaima go off food.
 
Cool......i was told by my frd that also live in Malaysia the best thing living in your country is that u dun need to be "millionaires" to own big piece of land....Considering having such lake in other countries, you certainly need to be someone to own it.....;)
