ID THIS SHARK CATFISH

[thebiggerthebetter]

Pangasius sutchi is just an old synonym, no longer in use. Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is the new name. http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=172

They are the same fish AFAIU. After revision, the IDSs are the only close relative to the gigas.

Thanks for clearing that up now as far as relatives of the gigas there are a few others such as bocourtii,lanardii,and sanitwongsei(paroon shark).

Ok guys Thankyou so much for the information. I plan to keep one with a arowAna a Pleco, some catfish and kois. Do u think this combination will work

It sounds like TL's pond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsTYAiaM-TU

Depending on what "some catfish" and arowana are and the sizes of all involved, it may.

These are all in a different genus from IDS and gigas: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/family.php?family_id=21

Ah yes,I just saw that.Is that a recent reclassification or has it always been that way?

ok guys thanks. so ive been wondering whats the main difference between both of these sharks. the picture im going to post both the pictures.
i don't know what the high fin shark is called abroad but over here is called naja ahsark, and the common shark is called te blueline shark.
are both of them compatible together because the last time i kept them together the naja ate the blueline.
this one is the called the naja shark.
the blueline is the common one. both these pictures are of the same shark
but why arent both of them compatible with each other. this guy killed my common shark although they were of the same size

That naja shark looks like what is known here as a paroon shark.
