Notes: The Arapaima Gigas is also known as the Pirarucu, and should be kept in a tank at least 1000 gallons. These fish like to jump, so a sturdy aquarium cover is a must. These fish must have plenty of room to swim since these fish are so large. These fish must surface to breathe, so some room above the water is needed. These fish will eat smaller fish, along with copped meat
