I am thinking of selling my Iridescent shark, they are about 12-13" long. whats a resonable price to sale this?

Holy **** do you know how big these fish can get?

In answer to your question not much.

Mod Edit: Don't really need swearing in here - Jools

Last time I saw them offered, they were 6,50 a pound

cleaned and deep-frozen

wich 1 of that dozen you want to sell?
there's definitely more than 1 Iridescent Shark in there

anyway, the real tankbusters are the Paroon Sharks you got there......Iridescent Sharks could be kept in a huge indoor pond when adult.
for Paroonsharks you'd need a wildlife resort with a river passing through in a tropical country......

I think you can be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy if you can find someone who can house those tankbusters properly. If you find such a person I would be more then happy if he/she is willing to take my sharks for free. That said I think it is more reasoneble to pay someone to take good care of your fish then asking someone to pay for your fish.

The only way these fish a worth a thing is if you sell them for there meat. Perhaps someone is brave enough to feed there cat with them.

They taste better than catfood; there's a whole range of Thai, Vietnamese or Indonesian recipes with Pangasius.

no need to feed it to the cat.

There are some fillets in my freezer. I eat them myself because they taste good and are fairly inexpensive. I also feed them to my Leporacanthicus species for the same reasons.

This is the species I keep in my freezer.... It is imported from Thailand:

Anyway I hope you can find a suitable home for the fish They are really beautiful!

Sick!

If you can visit the Pangasius' homeland cheaply and conveniently, then do that and release them.

I hope this was a joke, releasing aquariumfish in nature might be the best way to create really big problems: The fish might be infected with locally unknown deseases, the fish might be of another origen and destroy the local fishes themselves

no, the best way to get rid of unwanted fish is not to ditch them in the first ditch you find (pun intended) but to kill them if you don't manage to sell them or give them away

Those are beautiful animals, it is a shame how many end up in 10 gallon tanks... how big is your tank? I realize that in their native countries people eat them, but these are PET FISH... I dunno...



Someday, I plan to make a thailand biotope indoor pond with clown loaches, iridescent sharks, and loads of tinfoil barbs... it would be OSM

The clown loach is only found in Sumatra

Such a tank would require, I think, a footprint of 3 meter * 2 meter or more

Fine, it would be based off of Sumatra, IIRC all those species are found there as well.


well, except the clown loach is found only there.

In Ontario Canada $39- $150. depending on the byer or seller. These are prices I have seen in stores.

Do u still have these sharks

Wow. I am speechless. To top it off, there were two paroons in there too. I wonder what came of it 8 years later... @trantran

What impresses me is that you can tell the difference! Other than perhaps the pointy dorsal fin (which may not be right either), the paroons and IDS look alike to me in these pics. LOL

Stare enough at them

I would like to have one of your iridescent sharks. Please let me know thanks.

Welcome to the Planet!

I'd forget about it. The OP has only one post, which is 8 years old and I think he is in UK. This thread looks as dead as they come.
