What's the name?

[Fishes33]

I forgot the name, but here is the description; it's a characin, it long and slender (silverish), looks like a pike (not odoe, not kafu), it's a predatory fish, it's huge (can grow to the size of a human), and it is quite rare in the hobby. It's not a Taimen.

ATF?

not atf, not wolf fish, not nile perch, not chaleus, not Hydrolycus sp

It was posted a few times in MFK before. I believe it was very hard to transport like a lince cat, paddlefish, etc.

Arapima?

no.. not brycon, not dorado, not a gar

I think it is from Asia.

looks similar to an odoe pike but it can grow to be a giant fish.

It's rare in the trade, maybe it's a commercial fish but I dont quite remember.

The rarity is like a Taimen, have you ever seen a Hucho Taimen for sale?
