Hi jjpython.
Welcome to the site.
Unfortunately people get sold all sorts things my mistake.
It always pay sto research before you buy, and not take the store's word for it.
The Pangasuis is not a fish suitable for life in an aquarium.
They are too big and active.
I would return it to the store, and shop elsewhere in future.
