Walrus fish, scientific name: arapaima. It is huge, long, slightly flattened, and can grow up to 6 meters in the wild, so it is known as the largest freshwater fish on land.
Walrus fish are tropical fish that prefer weakly acidic water and do not have strict requirements for water quality, with a suitable water temperature between 24 and 29 degrees. As long as the walrus fish adapts well, the water temperature can moderately expand to between 22 and 31 degrees. As a close relative of the Arowana, the walrus requires a stable water temperature that cannot change drastically.

Walrus fish is said to be the largest freshwater fish, up to about 5 meters, and up to 200 kilograms, but according to a statement issued by the World Wildlife Society, Thai fishermen caught a catfish weighing 293 kilograms in northern Thailand, and this Mekong giant catfish may be the world's largest freshwater fish, far exceeding the legendary largest 200 kilograms of walrus fish, but this catfish died soon after the harvest. In addition, the giant salmon in Xinjiang is nearly 5 meters in size, and its weight is unknown. Walrus fish is one of the remaining ancient freshwater fishes, which are thought to have first appeared 100 million years ago, and are known as arapaima because of the teeth that grow from the hard bones of the tongue.
It mainly catches prey with the opening and closing of the upper part of its mouth and its tongue, feeds on fish and insects, and is good at jumping. The head of the walrus fish has many sensory tubes, and the swim bladder has the same function as the lungs, sometimes sticking its head out of the water to breathe. The scales are very large, and as they grow, the edges of the scales on the back half of the body will gradually turn bright red from the tail to the whole tail and the back and abdomen, so the locals call it Lula Nose Ke, which means red fish.
The main spawning period is the month of each year, and the walrus fish will build their nests in sandy riverbeds, with a width of about 50 cm and a depth of about 15 cm. Males protect eggs and newly hatched juveniles, while females do not move too far away from males. Juveniles, on the other hand, are attracted to pheromones secreted by the head of the broodstock and gather near the head of the broodstock and can be protected at any time.
Walrus fish is an important local food fish, dried or salted, and is known as freshwater cod. In recent years, due to the poor harvest of crops planted by local residents due to the impact of the Holy Child phenomenon, the walrus fish has been caught for food or in exchange for money, resulting in a significant decline in the number of walrus fish and facing a survival crisis.
Due to the large scales, which can grow to about 6 cm, the locals use them as files, to sharpen nails, and also to make bows and arrows; There are also people who use their hyoid bones to grind oars.

1. Walrus fish, also known as arapaima, can adapt to the water temperature between 24 29, and if the fish only adapts well, it can even adapt to the temperature of 22 31. However, arapaima, like other aquarium fish, should not change the water temperature drastically.
2. arapaima is a carnivorous fish, from juvenile fish to adult fish, animal bait must be fed, and it is best to feed the small fish in the activity. Animal offal, easy to interfere with the digestive system, should not be fed. The artificial compound feed is mostly shrimp feed (floating).

The walrus of my kind is now about 100-120 cm long, and the right tail of the fish is black, and the scales are showing obvious signs of decay, and the rot is already pink and white. I also found an unknown object less than 1 cm long in the bottom of the fish tank (I had not found it before), and if I looked closely at the water, there were microorganisms that could be seen by the naked eye (small microorganisms such as small fish eating "pumps" or small earthworms, which alone float in the middle of the fish tank and can swim by themselves).
I also want to know how to feed fish like mine every day, and what should I pay attention to?
There is also a 35-50 tiger shark in the tank, what should I pay attention to when raising two fish together?
What should I feed a tiger shark? I used to feed Marco Polo sausages, but after feeding them, they didn't clean up, and after a long time, the water was mixed up, and then the water was changed. I can't afford to change it
Ask for a good and effective solution, my fish can't be in the support, I'm afraid he will die.
The bathtub in my house is: 220 long, 110 wide, 120 high, the water level is about 80-90, and the glass thickness is about 1 cm.
Someone told me to isolate the fish in the whole place, but I couldn't move the fish because it was too big.

The growth rate of baby walrus fish is amazing. First of all, you need to prepare enough space for it to grow. It's a carnivore!!
Although it was domesticated by humans, of course, it had to be fed with meat at home. Cut to the size of a thumb finger. Synthetic feed is the main ingredient, depending on the size of the walrus fish to feed, and the meat is the auxiliary material (preferably lean meat).
