way cool.............looks like some are released into the wild !!!

Nice one john...definetly looks like a breed and release conservation project....at last we have proof that SOMEONE is doing it. There's hope for us all yet...! Love the shot of the hands holding the 'Pima fry - never seen them that small before. Great vid.

I was in Dallas over the past week, and stopped my my old Aquarium (Dallas World). I took a few shots of the arapaima there, I'll post 'em when I get home tonight.
They were 10" when I left four years ago. Now they are all pushing 7-9 feet!

Some crappy shots from Dallas. There guys were a little bigger than my hand when we got them in 4 years ago.

The biggest while I was working there was roughly 80 lbs or so.

I have some pics I took recently to share. These taken in an aquarium in Japan. I have seen babies taken off mouthbrooding parents in Manila when they are quite small. Pond bred but ponds were simple earthen and not that huge.
