Help with fish ID

[100gallons]

About 10 years ago, I was in a shop and the guy had a fish that was called a "blue whale"? I think.It was light blue and looked like a fathead catfish, dolphin fish thing. What was this" Oh yeah, fresh water.

common, no dont think so, here in the south of the uk ive seen them once...i think you would stand a better chance finding them in the usa / canada as there seems to be more people who can locate things there

its not a community fish at all. more like a parasite.
