Blue torpedo shark *need info*

Is that another name for the iridescent shark? That's the first thing "blue torpedo" brings to mind for me. If that's the case, they are a VERY large Asian catfish that can get over 3' given the proper conditions. They are also quite active unlike many catfish and so require a LOT of room. Also, as they grow their color changes to almost jet black with reddish eyes

I think I've seen what you're talking about at my LFS. I believe it's some type of catfish. It's bluish gray and always moving with it's mouth open. It is a cool looking fish. I believe they are actually called blue whales or Peruvian Blue Whales. Here's pictures. http://www.thejump.net/id/whale-catfish.htm The Doctor.
