Pangasius Nasutus

[ILOVESHARKS]

Pangasius Nasutus from the national zoo of Malaysia, they are expensive food fishes in Malaysia, anyone keeping them ?

 

[CC N]

Possibly no.
We kept iridescent shark and paroons normally

In Malaysia, Paroon sharks are one of the most destructive invasive species along with the Hemibagrus wyckioides, Peackok bass, African catfish, common pleco, amazon redtail catfish, gator gar and arapaima. In 2020, a fish farm in perak river broke free, many fish like paroon sharks, tilapia and asian redtail break free. Another fun fact: Paroon sharks and asian redtails are bred for food, paroon sharks and asian redtails are expensive fish in Malaysia

Hemibagrus wyckioides are my favourite fish. But they are expensive and mean as hell.

 

[CC N]

Is this the Nasutus ?

 

[ILOVESHARKS]

No, this is a paroon shark... possibly introduced

 

[CC N]

yeh... do u have any pic from the importers ?

 

[ILOVESHARKS]

I had some photos from my trip to the national zoo

the pangasius nasutus outgrow it's original tank so the zoo use iridescent sharks to replace them and put them in these tanks
