Description

"Arapaima gigas"

The arapaima has also been introduced for fishing in Thailand and Malaysia. It is also considered an aquarium fish, although it obviously requires a large tank and ample resources. Fossils of arapaima or a very similar species have been found in the Miocene Villavieja Formation of Colombia. The tongue of this fish is thought to have medicinal qualities in South America. It is dried and combined with guarana bark, which is grated and mixed into water. Doses of this are given to kill intestinal worms.
