Arapaima keeping

[Brayden]

I was wondering if Arapaima gigas are hard to keep in a home aquarium I know you have to have a very big tank.

honestly anything less than a pond is too small

There's a few guys keeping them in indoor tanks, but rest assured, they've spent $100k +. This is not only not a fish for beginners, it's not a fish even for experts, as they seem fairly hardy. Due to it's incredible size, it's a fish for the WEALTHY.

It will up your bills alot, giant tank=$$$. Big water changes=$$$ big food bill=$$$ and $$$= happy arapaima . Other than that they are pretty hardy exclusing the younger months where the majority of them have their problems as they are more sensitive.

Pretty easy, hardy fish to keep.
All you have to have a 10,000 gallon+ tank.
Initial $100,000 investment, $2,000 monthly maintenance.

An amateur can keep an arapaima alive. It's a bony air breathing fish.
