They are the Probarbus. There are a few different kinds of them. They are from the Mekong River and gets huge. They are hard to find.

Hah! cool. I like that this thread went from you being like, "what's this?" to "now I got me some." MFK success story.

Also, those should be on one of the cute fish threads. Weepy eyes!

What are the large flat fish? Also is that my favorite catfish I see in there ( brachyplatostoma rousexii) ?
