That actually is a chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius). That pic has been around for years.

We will be here
Now how about a little guy, maxes out at just over 7"s. Pretty widespread and has an odd life cycle, I doubt it will ever be bred in a fish tank.

With the exception of 'dripping' them back to freshwater, you could probably use the same hatching/feeding regimen as is used to rear monodactylus fry.

One of the cyprinids? Garra sp.? Maybe Garra flavatra?
