Keeping Pangas Catfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Compatibility: Due to its large size and semi-aggressive nature, it is best kept in very large, species-specific tanks or with other large, robust fish that can tolerate its presence. Not suitable for typical home aquariums.
• Special requirements: Requires an extremely large aquarium or pond with powerful filtration and ample swimming space. Substrate should be soft to prevent injury to barbels. Hiding spots are appreciated. Prone to stress in inadequate environments.
