Few questions on Arapaima.

[Roberto G]

If you pay close attention to the video you'll be able to see my Pima's first colored spot on its tail, it's a very bright orange spot, many seem to be forming as well but haven't colored yet. The scales are also gaining a red-ish green coloration as they approach to the tail.

I hope my Pima turns out to be more of an orange coloration than a red.

Growing nicely, you'll need to start on that lake soon...

Here's some photos I took yesterday, the Arapaima is still growing quite fast and gaining some good weight making it look really healthy and thick.



And here's a photo of a small Silver Aro I bought so it can keep some company to the Pima, I'm used to building biotopes and understanding the relationships between fishes from a same geological location and it's amazing to see how the Arapaima and the Arowana go SO well together and feel extremely natural living in the same aquarium. Please have in mind both of this fishes are still small enough to live in a fish tank and not large enough to be transfered to a lake, I KNOW 250gal isn't enough for this two fishes to live together for a long time.



I'll upload a video soon.

We're currently under some heavy rains here in Costa Rica, I'll wait until december so the dry season start and then the construction will be way easier. And what are you trying to mean with the "dale"?

Here's some video for you, it's finally starting to rain less here in Costa Rica so I'll probably build the lake soon, anyways, the arapaima is still really comfortable in it's big tank.

Cheers,

As for now I only have an Silver Aro and a RTC, I'm hoping I can buy some Peacock Bass soon.

Could you post some pics of the lake that the Pima will be going into once it's big enough, again, just interested!

Would be nice to see
