alrighty then.............got a sci name?
 
It's a Paroon Shark (Pangasius Sanitwongsei). Just like the Irridescent Sharks (Pangasius Sutchii), they grow quite large. In the wild, they shoal and this alone would make it hard to keep. They can grow up to 4ft in the wild. So keeping a shoal of these requires a HUGE aquarium, if not pond. They are not too difficult to keep, but they can be skittish. If they are startled (Pangasius sp. get scared easily), they will dash around the tank with good speed and can damage their nose by hitting the tank. Large one can even break the glass. They aren't to particular about their water, temperature should be around 80 degrees Ferinheit, and a LARGE aquarium. These cats are definately cool and are one of my favorites. Good luck with keeping them:icon_naruto10:
And here's a picture that'll give you an idea of the potential of this awsome MONSTER...
