    About a year ago I acquired a pleco and an irredescent shark. Does anyone else on here own one of these sharks/catfish? I know that in the wild they can get fairly large and I am curious to find out how large of a tank I will eventually need for him.

    The irr shark will get as big as your leg. Its a food fish in Thailand. American Catfish farmers are upset with being sold in the US. Pleco will get 30 inches.

    Yes I have found that out. I am wanting to get around a 300G tank. I just wish I would have read more about him before I offered to take him. I am happy to say that I don't see them in the pet stores around here, not really sure where my neighbor got him from. I about choked when I saw that he was about 8 inches in a 29G. Do you guys think 300G will even be enough?
