Arowana, a unique kind of fish

The female arowana just lays the eggs & its the responsibility of the male arowana to take care of them. Cool huh!
It is the male who needs to workout the rest of the stuff by ferti1izing the eggs, store them in his mouth & care for them, they are the mouthbreeders. And this whole process can take up to 40 to 50 days...
Amazing Arowana.

Wouldn't it be hard to eat without swallowing a kid or 10?

Maybe they don't eat until they've hatched...
