You probably could keep them if you owned a large 2000+ gallon pool, so the sharks could swim around in circles without constantly banging into corners. I don't think it would necessarily be impossible...

True
I said,unsuitable for "aquariums".
I think a pool large enough to support a shoal of 6 or more fully grown Pangasius with high flow rates and rich oxygenated water is beyond the realms of most hobbyists.
I don't think any of the ones I saw recently at the Pets at home store are destined for such good fortune.
shouldn't be an aquarium fish imo along with pacu redtailed cats and a few others due to their enormous size
hello i am new here. i wanted to ask if i have enough room for my irredescent sharks. i have a three foot by three foot pool pond. in it i have four irredescent sharks. three black and one albino. one of the black one is almost 1 foot while the other two are 8 to 7 inches long. the albino one is 6 inches. with them i have four silver dollars, each about 4 to 5 inches long. there is also a albino oscar about 4 inches and a raphaeil catfish, 6 inches long. the sharks are in it for for 8 months but only growed 1 or 2 inches. is there enough room for them since they are not growing that fast.
You just read a few posts up that these fish can be 3 or 4 feet long as adults...and that they are active, fast-swimiming fish that need space...and that when placed in small tanks are virtually doomed to die an early death.
So...no...you can't expect to keep four of them healthy in a four foot tank...unless you are okay with the whole "early death" thing.
