Good morning today I will be talking to you about the Arapaima! It is found in south America and it is the LARGEST tropical freshwater fish in the world. The Arapaima is found in the Amazon river. They can grow up to 9.8 feet and weigh up to 440 lbs.
There diet consists mainly on fish and other small animals including birds. In South America the tongue is thought to have medical qualities.
Sadly the Arapiama is hunted greatly by local fisherman.
