arowana

I believe that one is the airapaima.
 
Here's another pick of them I got off google.
These things are huge...

HEY! Where'd you get that picture!? =)
Thank you so much, I'm now using it for my wallpaper. =)
That's an arapaima gigas, there's like 3-4 of them in that tank. The largest is about 15 ft.
 
That redtail catfish at the bottom right is about 4 1/2 ft long. That tank is truly something to see, the picture doesn't do it ANY justice. To anyone interested in the amazon river and it's fishy inhabitants, I strongly recommend visisting the vancouver aquarium. Hell the city is just as beautiful, as well as all the surrounding area. The amazon gallery at the V-aquarium is something to be seen. I've been to quite a few amazon exhibits throughout north america and it's probably the best. As well as the FW exhibits outside of the amazon gallery, including a brand new lake malawi exhibit.
