Am I Chinese or American PADDLEFISH?

[ctoychik]

Well, got meself a paddle fish from LFS ... in Laos of all places.

No idea what kind - but had to have him seeing that i may not see such fish again ^^

turns out he is a filter feeder ... so seems to accept bloodworms only right now.

Anyone ever got them on anything else ... back in LFS he ate meal worms as well.

here's a clue for you: Chinese paddlefish = nearly extinct and a first-class protected species.

no way will you find a Chinese paddlefish for sale.

Nice pickup bro! Definitely an American paddlefish, Polyodon spathula, if it was a Chinese paddelfish you'd be the first in six years to see one!

If it was a Chinese paddle, you would have journalists and scientists knocking on your door 24/7.

Very cool fish!
