	Arowana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Osteoglossids are carnivorous, often being specialized surface feeders.
		They are excellent jumpers; it has been reported that Osteoglossum species have been seen leaping more than 6 feet (almost 2 metres) from the water surface to pick off insects from overhanging branches in South America, hence the nickname "water monkeys".
		Arowanas have been rumored to capture prey as large as low flying bats and small birds.

		Another attraction of the arowana to aquarium hobbyists is that they grow quite large in captivity, at least in relation to most tropical fish species kept in the home.
		Osteoglossum are mouth brooders and incubate their fry in their mouths at least until the yolk sac is absorbed, perhaps even briefly thereafter.
		That, of course, is easy for you or me to say, sitting in an armchair reading FAMA, but when you are standing in a wobbly canoe with your stomach growling, trying to harpoon your dinner, your perspective would no doubt be substantially altered, not to speak of your inability to distinguish brooders from non-brooders.

		They are the Black (Osteoglossum ferreirai), the silver (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum), and the giant Arapaima giga.
