🐟 Paroon Shark (Pangasius sanitwongsei)

A Sleek Silver Giant With Sail-Like Fins • Thailand's Legendary River Monster • The Ultimate Pond Showpiece

 

📋 The Paroon Shark, also known as the Giant Pangasius or Chao Phraya Giant Catfish, carries a sleek, gleaming silver body with long, sweeping fins, the first rays trailing out like sails. It's one of the true giants of the freshwater world and a legendary fish of Thailand's great rivers.

It comes from the Chao Phraya and Mekong river basins of Thailand and Southeast Asia. Every Paroon Shark we ship is feeding well.

This is a powerful, fast-growing monster fish that cruises the open water with real presence, becoming the undisputed star of any pond. It grows into a true giant of well over 1.5 metres, so it's made for large indoor ponds and monster-fish systems, where it becomes a showpiece for life.
