Pangasius Gigas (Mekong catfish)

Looks like a Gigas to me. I'm extremely jealous I must say, I'd kill to have 1-2 of them. Here is a pic of a paroon at similar size to show that it is not pangasius santiwogesi. Best way to tell is look at the placement of the eye on the gigas its towards to the bottom of the fish whereas most pangasius have their eyes pretty much mid way between top and bottom. Also look at the shape and location of the pelvic fins, the gigas is more towards the anal fin where the paroon is closer to the pectoral fins and also the gigas is more of a nub. The paroon has a clear contrast between black and silver/white and is more elongated.
its been awhile already. i'm not sure how much. but i'm guessing around 5t.yo_fish_boi;4282968;4282968 said:

Anyone in the states that has them won't be posting most likely...it's highly endangered and VERY illegal to posses in the US. Also that is just a random Paroon pic I found on the web, not mine just to clarify.
I don't think you have a gigas. Eyes are too high up and the fins are too dark. The eyes need to be BELOW the corner of the mouth.
