I have two Pangasius Sanitwongsei now and they are babies no larger than 5 inches. They are currently housed in a 55 gal but soon to be put into a much larger tank for the mean time as I know they get huge. I love them to death and want to hear about different setups that people have had success with in allowing them to get to thier expected size. I was going to go with an 800 gal plywood and concrete tank when I have a house in a year but I think an indoor pond may be best... any thoughts??.
I do have children so of course me and my husbands concerns with a pond are obvious. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Thanks in advance,
Tammy
 
How big would a paroon shark catfish grow in a 300 gal tank?
 
They are not in any order of size. I have pulled these from various sources. I have also seen them called "Emperor ID sharks" or "Imperial Sharks". As far as I am concerned, anyone who has had the pleasure of watching these guys (especially at feeding time) that they should be considered freshwater sharks. In the proper conditions I have seen them get as big as at least 4 feet. I have never seen a pic of this but only once. I have seen it in person once as well... what a beautiful fish!!
