I'm very fond of fish and chips, but like freshwater fish, not sea fish. What is the biggest freshwater fish and where does it live?

The largest freshwater fish is the Arapaima, which makes its home in the Amazon river, and is a carnivorous fish. [Jul 11 04 11:02 AM] LeoDaVinci writes: But they don't taste good... Jul 11 04, 3:14 AM

Until quite recently, Guyana, Brazil and other countries in South America boasted a healthy population of the Arapaima, long listed as the world's largest fresh water fish. The fish grows to four metres and weighs up to 200 kilogrammes. http://www.sunsonline.org/trade/process/followup/1998/11160698.htm Arapaima, also known locally as Pirarucu, Arapaima gigas are the largest, exclusively fresh water fish in the world. They have been found to reach a length of 15 ft/4m and can weigh up to 440lbs/200kg. http://www.extremescience.com/AmazonRiver.htm"> http://www.extremescience.com/AmazonRiver.htm Jul 11 04, 6:07 AM

But if you're looking for the most flavor for your fish, the Sturgeon is hard to beat, especially as they get quite large. Depending on variety, 6 to 18 foot specimens have been recorded. http://images.google.com/images?q=sturgeon&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi Jul 11 04, 2:47 PM
