I don't think it's as easy to donate a fish to a public aquarium as many people tend to think. Public aquariums to have a certain standard to uphold and maintain.

That was my worry, there is a tropical house in Leeds, they have some huge Paco and a 2ft TSN.
I'm going to get a video of them on my little girls iPad and be prepared to beg.

They are in my 7ft tank now, my smaller fish are going into the 5ft tank until I can find them a home.
I'm feeling in less of a rush now they have enough room.

But they will need to go soon, I can not afford all this fillet fresh fish and king uncooked Prawns lol

I got 3 ID shark in a 600G when I still in Vietnam, they don't get really big after reached about 2 ft they almost not growing at all! and they swim a lot, almost never stop!

Do you have a video of them?
Or photos?
They are really beautiful.
I wish my extension was built.
As soon as it is I'm going to have a huge tank!

Love your fish mate, where do you normally get them?
I live in Lincoln.
Thanks dude.
Got a couple from Viscum near Doncaster/Mexbroough, couple from internet classifieds when they started getting too big.
My TSN was from a place in Old Coats.

So which ones are these,can anyone tell if they are Irridecents or one of the other species?
I think they are Pangasius Catfish?

They're very active, wow....I would go with an upgrade for them.
If your local I'll deliver them for you, even help you fill up the new tank lol

You should get them to an aquarium fast. they're rarer than giant pandas and there might be some stiff charges for owning any

That is what my friend told me, I was trying to ask the question in my first post, but reading back it wasn't exactly clear.

they are just ID shark, and they are not rare! I've seen them for sale at lots of fish store for 1 USD at 8''(20cm) in Vietnam ! and they rarely get up to 3 feet in length in captivity!

I don't have video ot any picture of them I came to the U.S 3 years a go, so I haven't seen them in 3 years now! I never think of taking picture of them until too late!:(

ID shark is in the Pangasius catfish family AKA Pangasius Hypophthalmus!
