Siamese Giant Carp (catlocarpio Siamensis)

[diburning]

I was wondering... are there any siamese giant carp (or siamese giant barb as some people call it) in the aquarium trade?? The scientific name is catlocarpio siamensis. It is about as large as an average adult male when ful grown.

I imagine you could keep in in a large aquarium, but it is basically just and ugly oversized goldfish, personally i think with would make a better meal than a pet . I have not heard of them before, but probably because they are just too large to keep in a home aquarium. Very cool pic thogh, i bet you could ride that sucker .
