Thanks for reading.
 
right the irridescsent shark and there is another one that is huge called something like pangasas shark (spelliing????) it shoul also be menitoned and possibly certain sturgeons are sometimes sold, maybe should be added, I have a 300 gal tank with extra thick glass and still settled for the mini pacus......black bar silver dollars.
 
What about albino channel catfish, chinese sailfin suckers, and common pleco?
 
I forget add the paddlefish too as they are offered as juvies.

Irridescent shark is a species of pangasius. They are one in the same. Paroon sharks are also available, but not nearly as common.
I didn't add the sturgeon because they're not very common.
