shark ID please plus a couple questions.

[04mach1]

ok i have 2 of these sharks about ( 6 inches long ) and at the store it said emperior shark but i have been searching and came up with nothing on that name. i also cant find any pics of sharks like these.






my next question is i want to get a 200-300 gal next since these are in my 55 with a 6 inch tin foil barb, 3 inch id shark and a 5 inch common pleco.
i was thinking of getting a couple columbian sharks, a couple pictus and dropping the 7 sharks into the 200-300 gal tank and leaving the pleco and tinfoil in my 55.
i have been reading that the columbian sharks like brackish water and need a little bit of salt in the water to live or they will get a skin diesease and die... so can the id shark, pictus and the two bigger ones i have live in brackish water??
or should i try to keep the columbians in just fresh water and see what happens?

Looks like a Paroon Shark (Pangasius sanitwongsei). Check out http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=268

Those two would be the artificial "balloon" form of the Pangasius sanitwongsei. They get up to 98'' though.
ID shars get huge too.

I would say hi-fin paroon. They get very large 4'+ so you may want to reconsider your 200-300g tank. ID sharks also get very large.

They'll just keep growing. Unless the water quality gets so bad they stunt and die. Put in a
/V\onster Pond!

i'd return ALL of your fish, as every single one will outgrow your tank.

Pleco and tinfoil wouldn't.

its a paroon shark.

Pleco and tinfoil wouldn't.

tinfoils are very active and need schools, not to mention get to a foot long. best off back at the store. a common pleco sure as heck wouldn't, you should see my dads HUGE 2 1/2 foot one! he also has another at about 16" right now.
