Albino arapaima in my pond

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say keep that one and keep on breeding. Get them established more and then start selling. Like they say, don't sell your goose that lays golden eggs.
I have never heard of arapaimas becoming an invasive species.

YEAH MORE LIKE ENDANGERED. one of the pima strains is assumed to have become extinct. I'm quite surprised by the proposed invasive nature. They are over fished as they are a cherished food source.

Greetings to all, an embrace of Bolivia, good happens that I have some land in the Amazon region of my country.
a couple of years some escaped Arapaima farm in peru, slowly began to spread in Bolivia.
actualemente and entered the river system Mamore Call Ringtone supernado the rapids being now the only fish that is caught.
in other words are finishing with everything in its path.

As seen in the images are captured only paiches nothing more. that is captured in a single output of about 5 hours.

but hey presisamente a year ago and caught some release in the gaps of my stay. happened that a couple of months we get a male and removed the calves and good surprise was great when we saw this specimen (now has 25 cm)

but I really like Asian friends offered me $ 200 for (but permits and other costs not know if I should sell it, if they are trying to take advantage, or good if I keep the best)

Seriously, do not soil killed all fish?
 
hola herrmano sabes ese pes ademas de ser lindo es mui especil qedate con el y no lo bendas el precio de ese pes es como alrededor de diez mil dolares !!! qedate con el sacale crias y luego bendes los bebes,, aqui en estados unidos si salen como el papa cuestarian una mui buen dinero... suerte y espero que no sea demasiado terde y lo aigas bendido...
 
en serio , no lo vendas, no lo hagas , aislalo y trata de reproducirlo , estas ante una minita de oro..... con eso te digo todo, recuerda que los chinos quieren adueñarse de todo ,, sabias que los flowerhorn peces carisimos de agua dulce que llegan a los 500 dolares , fueron reproducidos en japon a partir de especies mexicanas????? ahora imagina lo que haran con un arapaima albino!!!!! creeme , 200 dolares no es nada con lo que sacaran si logran reproducirlos, eso es lo que te digo... ahora lo mismo pero en ingles


the same , but in english:
really , dont do it , dont put it on sale , you have to try get reproduce it , remember that the chinese people make money with everything , did you know the flowerhorns were made in japan by mexican species??now imagine what things they could make with an white arapaima!!!! 200 dolars arent anything good luck
 
That's worth big money i think.

O.O Oh my, I agree with the others: either keep and breed it or sell to the highest bidder, you can get tons more than $200 looking at around five figures
 
Doesn't look like Albino or Leucistic Arapaima.
