henward Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 trhats a good point but they dont harm humans in fact they dont have the teeth structure of sw sharks so its ok they have gummy mouths with rasps more than anything if anything if they try to bite you, you can see it as a exfoliating treatment win win situation:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coelacanth Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 they are just freshwater catfish (Pangasius). They used to be available here and there are probably some still around. Napier Aquarium had them at one time. The one from the Mekong is P.gigas which has never been in NZ and is endangered (P.gigas is the one that has featured in several threads on giant catfish on this forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
