Pangasius hypophthalmus

The Pangasius hypophthalmus is a large tropical fish that is often misunderstood due to its docile appearance when young. As they mature, they can become quite large and are more suited to public aquariums or extensive fish tanks. They are sociable and should be kept with several members of their species or comparable large, peaceful fish. These fish are known for their swift growth and energetic swimming behavior. Care should be taken with tank decoration, as they can be skittish and prone to injuries if startled.
