(ID Shark)

Identification:
Dark-bronze back, silvery light and deep curved belly.
Flat and wide head with very low-set eyes and no teeth.
Unlike other catfish, the Mekong Catfish has no whiskers.

The Vendor I deal with gets Mekong from a Fish Farm over seas and as juvies, Pangasius Gigas' are born with wiskers but lose them as they age.

Yes they have no teeth. I have two.

Wow that's awesome!! Gotta see pics. What r ur plans for housing them? (cerious not trying to start anything)

I think they look like pangasius larnaudii

Going by the current pics I'd say their not mekongs, just really chunky versions of one of the common species, possibly P. Pangasius
