Mekong River fish ID sign

  • Media owner Zooish
  • Date added
The 'supporting cast' of the Mekong River giants tank (with the Mekong Giant Catfish, Siamese Giant Carp and Giant Freshwater Stingray) finally get their own signs.
 
Just noticed two misidentifications on their part. The Hoven's carp are actually red-finned cigar sharks (L. rubripinna), while one of their 'finescale Indonesian tigers' is a genuine Datnioides pulcher from Indochina.
 
with these signs, are we seeing three different Giant Catfish in this tank? Pangasius sanitwongsei, P. gigas and P. hypophthalmus? Thanks.
