Arapaima is a King fish. Use the Noble Rod or higher; the Wooden Rod and Chrono Rod will snap when Arapaima bites. Equip Veggie Bait, Meat Bait and chum the water during the catch window (12:00-02:00). Wait for a fish shadow, cast onto it, and reel carefully when the line goes red.

Arapaima requires no oxygen units when placed in a fish pond, making it a free addition to any pond regardless of capacity.
As a King fish, Arapaima placed in a pond can produce eggs that hatch into sellable fish, providing a passive high-value income stream.
Use Hooked on Fate. This Workpedia perk lets you catch ocean fish even without visible shadows. Critical for King fish in zones where shadows can be sparse.
Activate Rare Bites for daytime King runs. This perk increases the rare-catch rate during daytime fishing windows.
Sell vs cook vs pond. At 782g, Arapaima is highly profitable to sell at the Merchant Ship for 200% value.
Track time and weather. Open the Phone Apps to check weather forecasts. Some fish only spawn under specific conditions, and missing the window means waiting for the next cycle.
