Tank size: 10000G/1 small group

Description
Polyodon spathula is one of North America’s largest freshwater fish, and it is a relatively peaceful filter feeder, comparable to basking sharks. These fish are incredibly ancient, with a family dating back over one hundred million years. This fish is one of only two possibly extant members of its family, and the other member is largely believed to be extinct. This is truly a fascinating species that is unlike almost any other. They are closest biologically to sturgeons.
