Re: [GSAS-Member] Largest home aquarium (Susan Welenofsky)

[Monica H <ninita@hotmail.com>]

I have heard of  HUGE arowana aquarium near Edmonds.  I forget who I heard this 
from, but the way the described it was that it was like a swimming pool, and 
had a net around it with birds that the arowanas fed on.  I had no idea 
arapaimas were protected.  I thought we saw them everywhere in the Amazon, and 
believe we even ate them, but maybe my Portuguese was bad and it was a 
different species.
