Kanazawa 1966, the Black Arawana. South America; Brazil's
Amazon Basin. To a meter/yard in length. Similar to the Silver
species as an adult, harder to raise as juveniles, and just as
likely to launch themselves out of a tank without a heavy, complete
cover. Shown, a one foot individual in
captivity. |
