Default Pangasius Catfish

Please confirm the worst, LFS guaranteed it only gets to 14" after i questioned them on it and that it's the other sub-species that get to 3 foot plus, further research shows me otherwise but wanna know what you lot think so can sort it out a proper home if it does become a monster...

Saw a similar thread but the pics were no longer up on it so couldnt compare.



Sorry about the pic quality etc.

There's one species of pangy that gets to 9', most get at least 3'. That cute lil' thing in your tank is gonna end up eating (not maliciously) everything else in there. When large, if they get spooked thay have been known to break through tanks because of their skittishness. They can hardly see - only really tell the differnce between night and day. But for now you have a great little catfish!

The 9" species doesn't exist. The species in question was thought to average 9-10" but given the correct diet and right sized tank will hit 2 foot easily.

Best start looking for a new home for him now. Big home as they need company of the same species.
