Wow! got picture? Interested on your tank n cover tank. How much it is?

I'm not too sure which species...
sp=species.
thanks

i wonder why are all the big one is wild caught?
@cloud999 yes that's a micropeltes and it can grow to 3 feet in 1 year+

thanks Alcip.

So, which means the coloration on its body will getting darker and finally turns into this -->

well, IMO the coloration depend on the water but i'm not an expert about this
so i'm not so sure

i wana get arapaima,but im buying only 3 babies.n my indoor pond is 12ftX10ftX4ft,so the pond will look bloody empty until they grow up.can i mix other carps n fishes that are olmost the same size as the baby arapaima until the arapaima reach a decent size to be mixed with bigger fish like pacu?

i have 2 pond the other pond is bigger but its outdoor in the garden so my dad only wants koi in that pond but im curently having koi,lampan,Pacu and other fishes in there...my plan is to keep the arapaima in the smaler indoor pond till they are bout 2ft then bring all the pacu from outside n mix with the arapaimas into the indoor pond.
so until they grow to be 2ft,can i mix other smal lampan n kelah with them so the indoor pond doesnt look empty???
i dun wana mix the pacu nw becoz they are huge 1-2ft++ so they will eat the baby arapaima if i mix..

P.S:need advise,im keeping fish for bout 15years but 1st time getting my dream fish "the araipama"...so exited..!!

hey i have no experience with pima but all i know is that they feed alot and grow very fast, so the lampam n kelah will be too small and will be food in just 6-7 month please correct me if i'm wrong. yes pudu has them, the shop beside the temple but not sure which variant price rm200 -300

RM100 for tank, cover, filter system and fishes. Actually i cannot manage it anymore. Transport on your own.

good luck with your new monsters and a pic would be appreciate

guys i got another 1.5ftx1ft tank.cn recomend sum "Unique" fish to keep? i wud prefer if keep a few together.no prob if the wud grow larger coz i cn transfer them to the 3ft tanks afta i send the arapaimas to my pond...

Thanks.

Ur correct, when it lose it stripes it mean it reaching its adult stage. Be sure to have bigger tank then.

you know it's hard to comprehend unique when talk about fish they are all unique depend on the keeper..some
like it big some like it small..if you want large species try pangacius aka patin normal or high fin or rtc(red tail
catfish) or tsn(tiger shovelnose)..if you want below 3 feet try polypterus endlicheri or ornatipinnis and many other
good luck

hi guys..

would like to ask if red belly piranha considered a Primitive Fish ?

i think it's not mostly fish that breath direct air is primitive

Im planing to keep these together,any coment? Shud i minus or plus any type?
1 rtc
1 Snake head (stil deciding wich one)
1 gar(florida gar)
1 thai tiger fish
1 fire eel
1 Bichir(the cheap one with nice paterns)
Maybe 1 african aro if got cheap one

All this are goin in my 2.5ft tank...dun worry ony plan to keep them for 5-6 months.afta that wichever fish that outgrows my tank will be dump into my big fish pond along with arapaima.LOL!
