is it a type of pangasius? if it is what i think it is its a HUUGEEE fish. way to big for even most monster tanks here.

im pretty sure they are related to candiru, mean little suckers very active as well

ctopsis (i mispelled it)
NASTY fish. They eat anything small enough to fit in their mouth, and burrow inside and eat anything that won't fit.
Awesome fish though.

yeah i believe thats a cetopsis coecutiens. also known as blue torpedo shark or candiru.....from what ive read, these fish take bites off bigger fish....nasty little fish....i think theyre cool though

Yep nasty little guys. I saw one in my LFS and researched it and found out the same. They have been known to not just bite chunks out of large fish but actually burrow inside large fish and feed and I'm not talking just one either they are a schooling fish.
