World's largest freshwater fish.

[M4ttSyke]

Which fish do you guys think is the largest freshwater fish in the world?

the Mekong Giant Catfish (Pangasianodon gigas)

or the Arapaima (Arapaima gigas)

?

I've been hearing different things from different people and reading different documentaries/websites. some say the mekong giant catfish is the largest while others state the arapaima is the largest fish.

What do you guys think?

Both are extremely large, but if it had to come down to the largest I do believe sturgeon can grow larger then both of those fish.

It this going by size or weight?

Interesting convo.
My vote would be sturgeon. But pima and wells sure do get huge.
Really hard to say without hard facts
