Arapaima guide

Arapaima is a Rare fish that shows up in Roslit Bay when the weather turns to Rain or Foggy and you have Minnow on the hook. It is built for size: weights run from 100.6 kg to 232.9 kg, with an average of 151 kg, which puts its heaviest catches at 238th of the 663 fish with a recorded max weight.

The money is less impressive. At C$1.26 per kg it averages C$191 per catch, ranking 497th of the 742 documented fish, so it will not fund an upgrade on its own. What it does give is 150 base XP, a decent amount for a fish that is not hard to find.

Two other Rare fish share the zone, Mauve Pearl and Pufferfish, so a weather-and-bait session there can fill your inventory with several mid-tier catches. Roslit Bay also sells Blazebringer Rod, Magma Rod, Fortune Rod, Rapid Rod and Steady Rod, which means you can pick a rod without leaving the area.

Verdict: catch it for the XP and for the weight, keep one if you collect big fish, and sell the rest without guilt. It is a filler species, not a target.
