They could have sold it to me, and used the profit to go buy a couple months worth of food!!! LoLsaw that on natgeo. caught it for food that morning......
Pretty sure this is a joke... first off no way you found an Arapaima for $50. Second, there's no chance that you could ACTUALLY get a tank big enough for one. A 300 gallon tank would be outgrown in a year.
Yess i know i am getting at least a 100 gallon then selling!!! I am fully aware that they grow huge im not stupid!Seriously though, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to put a 600 gal tank in my house. 600 gal isn't even big enough for an arapaima to grow out and thrive. Imagine trying to feed a full grown paima. I spend enough money feeding my silver aro and two Achara cats better yet one paima. It would be cool to say that you own an arapaima, but you'll get hated on as soon as you mention what size tank you have.

His case is quite common in Asia, cheap fish and vendors who will sell any one anything. (assuming thats where hes from). Had an eastern europe guy come into my work to buy an entire 55g set up, and then demanded 5 silver arrowanas to be pre-ordered, couldn't tell him different. Some people are just stubborn and ignorant.
Edit: saw he's from CA, now I'm thinking troll, I doubt he could get a paima that cheap and that size at this time of year in CA.
