River Giants are a new, unique and specialist re-homing project based in Derbyshire. We re-home some amazing, wonderful fish that span the globe.

 

River Giants project is a new concept that not only provides a safe haven for large freshwater fish, but will engage disadvantaged  chicldren and young adults as well as the general local community. The River Giants project is currently looking for a large space to open an indoor sanctuary for large freshwater fish that are outgrowing regular home aquariums.  Aiming to engage the community by providing a variety of eductional topics that will include key national curricular topics such as English, Mathematics, Science, IT, PHSE and Enterprise. These will include:

 

Horticulture

Environmental Science

Conservation

Freswater Fish

Fish Health

Parasites and disease

and many more....

 

There's something primal that leads people to wonder what's lurking below the surface of any large river. Humans seem to be hardwired to be both fascinated by, and somewhat fearful of, Volkswagen-sized catfish.

 

The Legends:

There’s something in the back of everyone’s mind when overlooking a large river, lake or bay. “What’s lurking below the surface?” Grainy images of the Loch Ness Monster feed those thoughts. 

 

The Facts:

There are fish today that grow to enormous proportions. These monster fish not only reach spectacular sizes, they have fascinating life cycles and, in some cases, weird appearances. 

 

In the wild, these amazing animals live in remote locations from Australia’s Outback to the steamy jungles of southeast Asia.  You will be thrilled by the prehistoric-looking arapaima, weird-looking wallago, giant freshwater rays and other BIG Giants
