Crazy monsters at LFS

[benzjamin13]

Mekong Cats are illegal because they are endangered. They're probably selling Parron Sharks and labeling them as Mekong Cats. When it comes to certain species, I have a soft spot for them and Mekongs are one of them. They are big, peaceful, and awsome cats. If any fish shouldn't be kept in a home aquarium is them and the Arapiramas.

Yeah i agree, some species should not be sold!

I don't think the guy with the 50,000 gal tank could house that fish properly. If that lfs is really selling a mekong that is a shame for such a great creature

I was shocked the other day to see a piaraba (sp?) catfish at my LFS. I don't know much about this species but I know they catch them regularly in the 300-500 lb range. They did at least have the decency to write on the tank - "caution : grows ten feet long plus." This store sells a number of truly monsterous fish, but they always have a warning or in some cases a picture of an enormous adult fish on the tank. I think that's a good compromise.
