[edit] Discussion
I don´t know how long it takes untill a Pangasius gigas reaches a length of 3m, but it aren´t undoubtly only 5 years, in the other case, the 3m-speciemen were not the largest one which was caught in the last decades. This large fish grow fast, but even they need many years to grow only over 2m.
Template:Astronatus I believe the photo assigned to this post is incorrect. This photo is of a Pangasius, common to any local pet store. They only grow to about 3 feet in length, and that only rarely in captivity. The photos of Mekong cats I have seen look much like a traditional catfish, with whiskers and wide mouth, much like a North American black bullhead, but hundreds of times larger of course.
- Confirmed. I put in the wrong species image. -- Lerdsuwa 10:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
