arapaima

Today when I was at the super market, buying some cod for dinner and I saw arapaima filets. They where at least 6 ft long. I picked up a quarter pound of it to try. It actually tasted really good. Whole Foods sells it as paichi (just in case you wanted to try some).

Multiple species of arapaima? If so, some could be threatened with extinction. It's not so hard to believe that there are multiple species, just with undescribed differences. It would be a shame to lose these unbelievable creatures...
