It's a nice fish. I got to see it for the first time this morning. (Some last minute junk had me "out of the office" when it got dropped off.)

Thanks for helping out with getting it here. I can't wait to see it out in the Amazon soon!

I had to my drive car away from the mall to an inspection station which was a guy in a trailer in a huge parking lot. He had a big mirror too look for contaband underneath the car. He directed me to the shipping lair, where I had to fill out paperwork and get an ID badge. Then I had to walk about 1/2 mile worth of concrete tunnels to Underwater Adventures. The funny thing is no one ever asked to see what was in this big duct taped tub. I'm glad, the fish was in a mood. I probably would have had to collect fish off the pavement.

lol Yea security sucks at the MOA.

I posted one in the Amazon thread.

Haha, You're right. I work there and they still made me pay for it. But it was for a good cause, and it's the 2nd best home in the world for it. The other one that comes to mind is the Amazon, but there's no fishing in Matt's amazon exhibit so perhaps he's even better off.

That sucks that they made you drop your own coin to save a fish. But, even more props to you for doing so much for that lucky aro.

It was worth it, and Matt offered to pay me for it. It's not a lot of money, and it's for a good cause. I should pay for it, I get to see it in the Amazon display. UA is less than a mile from my house.

LOL

of course... do all the weird, hard security stuff, but forget to do the most important and simplist thing... lol

good save though... how big is it?

very good looking Arow ..glad he got a new home despite all you went through

Didn't you drop your own money to save this beast? This is one lucky arowana.

good work!

I started the thead, because I got pics first, but the real heroes are Matt and Nicky. Matt agreed to take the fish. Nicky got it to it's new home. Those two deserve props. I asked, and they answered.
