I can't remember the common name offhand, but i do know they are a very active, schooling fish and grow very large, over 18" if properly cared for.

That is a irredenct shark. Will give you some info when I found it.

Pangasius catfish - grow monster huge and not suitable for home aquaria. I would return it ASAP - fish shops should not morally be selling these to the general public. Sorry.

oh dear

poor little pangasius

 

[beesnees]

that wasnt really the answer i wanted, really disapointed with the info i was given by my lfs was told it would only grow 6'' max obviously not



is there anyone out there who is interested in taking this of my hands, some one who can give him proper home.

 

[cane76]

i very much doubt anyone on here can house it long term.back to the lfs it goes

 

[beesnees]

cheers thought that would be the case just thought id be nice and see if any one could give him a home

thanks for all your input saved me a problem for when he gets older

 

[cane76]

i cant believe that they told you it would max out at 6" i would expect a full refund
