(Other members of the genus Pangasius)
ADULT SIZE: 30 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Not critical
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-28 C
FOOD: Feed Pangasius sutchi live and dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: This species comes from Thailand
AQUARIUM CARE: A shy catfish species, that is often bought for community aquariums, but always outgrows them. Fortunately, some dealers will take them back when they get too big. Best kept in a shoal, ideally in a rounded tank to allow continual swimming. This species is far more active at night. Many species sold as Pangasius sutchi are misidentified, and some can reach over a metre in length. This fish is best avoided by the home aquarist.

Sorry no records.
A biotope aquarium is one that attempts to replicate the natural habitat of a particular species. These aquariums are often more staisfying for the owner, but will also keep the fish happier, allowing them to exhibit their natural behaviour and hopefully reproduce.
