That's Polyodon spathula. We catch them all over the area I live in. Young filter feed but, soon learn to take flakes/crumbles from the surface. I've had specimens as small as 1.5 feet snatch up small live feeders. Can tolerate warmer conditions provided there's tons of aeration in the tank. Scaless (and boneless), these fish require pristine conditions since their rostrums and skin are more susceptable to disease. Nice pickup. We (the US) have to wait for the tail-end of stocking season to get the leftover juvies.

So its native to the US... Not China ??

Correct. It's quite different from the endangered and protected Chinese paddlefish (Psephurus gladius).

LOL, thanks for clearing that up. I just watched a documentary on how the Chinese paddlefish is unofficially extinct since none have been caught in the past 3 years. That would have been an awesome find though lol
