The pirarucu or giant arapaima (Arapaima gigas) is a species of arapaima native to the basin of the Amazon River. It is among the largest freshwater fish. Arapaima gigas is an obligate air-breather and needs to come to the surface regularly to gulp air.

The silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum), sometimes spelled arawana, is a freshwater bony fish of the family Osteoglossidae, commonly kept in aquaria. The generic name Osteoglossum means "bone-tongued" and the specific name bicirrhosum means "two barbels" (from the Greek language).
