I was looking at one of these at aquascape i know they get big but i couldnt find any threads. I really want one if you have one or know a thread let me know.

They need cold water temperatures. Keeping them in a tropical setting will stunt their lifespan.

I was going to post this am when the site went down rite in the middle of it.
All the info you need is available by Googling it.
From what I read they grow slow and live long.

I picked up a Chinese high fin shark yesterday, its about 7" long and was $40.. I never saw one before thought it looked really cool. I looked up some info on my phone before I purchased it. I have it in my 75 rite now at 77*, will be moving it in the next few days so it can be in a cooler temp tank.
I tried to upload a pic and it keeps saying upload failed. Must still be issues with the site. I'll try again tomorrow night.

Cold water temps 3ft long turn into big pink/reddish looking carp they loose the High Fin as they age if kept properly will live for 20years+

Here's mine, if it gets too big and ugly I'll put it in my pond. I think it looks really cool now. It's sitting under the filter outflow, eating alge from the driftwood.
