Giant Arapaima

Also known as the pirarucu, it is the largest freshwater fish in the world reaching the length of 18 ft. It can be found in the Amazon river together with the silver and black arowana. A 4-6 inches juvenile arapaima would cost around PHP 4000-5000 here in the Philippines. Through my friend's experience, it has a big appetite and grows very fast, even a 100 gallon aquarium is not enough for this fish as it often ends up breaking the glass. So quite often you would see arapaima owners building ponds or pools in order to accomodate their pet.

Malaysia Gold Arowana

Probably one of the most beautiful and affordable arowana being sold here in the Philippines. This kind of arowana is one of my personal favorites. A 6-7 inches golden arowana is being sold here at the price of PHP 2500-3000. Although they say the malaysian gold arowana is a green arowana or is a crossbreed of lower quality arowanas.

The Cichlids

New and Old world species pictures are here, the cichlids remain one on the most popular kept species in the hobby today. New pictures are added as I receive them.

The Catfish

Such a generic term for such a large group of fish. Most of the species are friendly and excellent community members and deserve to be kept in their own right, not just as scavengers.
