How long have you had it and where did you get it from?

Wow those things are massive...is there much knowledge on growth rate and size that you know of? Or diet? This guy is on NLS currently.

A Buddy of mine had him since he was was very small, he said it came into the LFS as a ID shark. But I guess they knew my buddy and knew it wasn't an ID so they called him and he went an got it.

He is moving to Florida next week and could not take his fish with him. So I got them from him.
They were in a 300gallon Rubbermaid stock tank, but when I got them I built this 6'x9' Indoor pond in my garage. I've had him for about 1-2months now.

Thanks for the info! Any idea how big? I only have big fish in the pond, so I don't think he will eat anything!! I at least hope not! And yes very active I love watching him cruise all over the place. I've only see him eat pellets, will he eat fillets?

I don't mind saying it that's one good looking pangasius.It looks like you have two different types of iridescent sharks in there as well,judging by the tail fin shapes,and they look big.What are the sizes?

Thank you very much, are you talking two different between the black ear and the regular IDs?? The smaller ones are around 18" the medium one is around 22" and the big one is over 2 feet...he's a monster!!!
