i wish shops wouldnt sell these fish-thats a Pangasius sanitswongi,you say you know it gets big-well around 95-100".Yes thats inches not cm and most public aquaria are too overstocked to take them in.Apologies if you are a millionaire with a 30ft tank in your living room!

I agree. you are going to need a heated LAKE for one of these, I think it would be kinder to just euthanase it now.

Unless of course, you are a millionaire and can afford a lake.

Minimum tank size is 32ft x 13.5ft x 13.5ft, which is 185787 litres, or 49080 gallons. Sorry to be annoying, but I just thought you'd like to know



Have fun setting up a home for him

the pic you have put on is a Giant Mekong Catfish not a paroon shark they grow much larger and he will prob end up in a 12footx12foot diameter pond anyway

Actually, its a Pangasius gigas, a close relative to your Pangasius hypophthalmus, and it is very hard to tell the difference at the size yours is. Therefore you could have a fish that has the potential to get to 9ft. I dont think a 12ft pond will be big enough for it, do you?

Also, 12ft length is not long enough to house a Pangasius hypophthalmus, which is probably what you have.

thats in the wild you show me one that big in captivity

Erm.. they should grow to the same in the wild as in captivity, if you re treating it right.
