What Catfish Is This? Please Help

well thats what they do when they are caught from the wild, well.. not beer battered, but eaten all the same, its a shame how they so commonly turn up in the trade when they shouldn't but are becoming very rare in the wild where they should thrive!
its a shame, but no matter how much people complain about it, as long as people buy them they will carry on getting imported, if people stopped buying them, they wouldn't import anymore.

this is most probably Pangasius sanitwonsei...it can grow up to 2 foot long and thats classed as one of the smaller species of pangasius!
unless you had a large heated pond, i'd also suggest trying to rehome these fish unfortunately.

I feel bad for any fish who isn't taken care of properly. I understand that they took these guys in without knowing about them but still. And doesn't help they're becoming an endangered species if they aren't already.
