5,000 gallon Arapaima Gigas Tank by JohnPTC

lil' gigas are doing great........!!!!

Dr.John.....I have you to blame as the last visit to your place influenced me to purchase a Pima. The awsomeness of your monster tank just left a lasting impression on my mind. Hearing voices telling me to," buy one... buy one... buy a PIMA". Knowing I will never have the means of housing an adult, I have one in my care at the moment

Now to my question =-) .... mine is jet black ? I'm sure it's because he's stressed. However, he's eating fine. Swimming normally, acting fine. Has the curiousty of a cat when you approach the tank. You have any ideas how I could get him to return to his normal color.
