Despite its name, iridescent shark, Pangasius hypophthalmus is not a shark, but a catfish. This fish is also known as Siamese shark or sutchi catfish in the aquarium hobby or as tra, swai, or striped catfish in the food fish market, and occasionally incorrectly as basa and panga (though these names should be rather used for Pangasius bocourti and Pterogymnus laniarius, respectively). The species is found in Southeast Asia in the Mekong basin as well as the Chao Phraya river, and is heavily cultivated for food there. It has also been introduced into other river basins as a food source and is common in the fishkeeping hobby. It is named for its glow or iridescence exhibited in juveniles.
Pangasius hypophthalmus, also known as iridescent shark, is an omnivorous fish that primarily feeds on small fish, insects, crustaceans, and plant matter in the wild. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of commercially available fish pellets, live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetables like lettuce or zucchini. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure optimal health and growth.
