Airmara is the meanest fresh water fish, this is a true "bulldog of south america. I caught many in the river "comte" in French Guiana, the only way to catch them is hook-trapping and kill it with a 22.

Was that a "ntses qav ?"

[tswjxeem]

Yes, it is the same family. but this "ntses qav" have lots of teeth about 1 inch long and as sharp as nail, and it come at you like a bulldog if it is catch. Tus no yog tus "ntses qav" of south america. It can grow to around 40 lbs (at least that's the heaviest i'll seen - caught on the Mana River in French Guiana. Hmoob muab ua ntses nqaub noj qab heev.
