hello. i help rehome 3 Pangasius Catfish one 18" an one about 8" with a crazy tail. an the 3rd witch is stunning is 9 to 10" its almost albino but not that much pink in it nor the eyes. its the same as the others just almost platinum or something. is this a normal trait in these catfish. is it something diffrent all together. i my self have not seen one like this. i haft to say the pics dont do it justice, under the right lights i swear he almost sparkles lol. sorry not the best pics.

theres no telling.
if he was a rescue he could just be uber washed out and regain the pink coloration later on.

well had him for maybe 3 weeks now, an he was well taken care of where i got him from. could he be platinum? an so far he is just geting more shinny the more comfortable he gets in this tank. almost need sunglasses lol:grinno:
i bet oddball would no. he is the expert when it comes to stuff like this lol
 
If you ever need to rehome the large one let me know...

you sure they were well taken care off?
the smaller normal one has a screwed up tail.

yes, i got them from a fellow mfk member who rescued them from a small tank. the fish with the messed up tail has been like that prob since it was born or very young. its def strange but he eats like a champ.
