Large High-Fin Pangasius Shark (Paroon Shark)

The Large High-Fin Pangasius Shark, commonly known as the Paroon Shark (Pangasius sanitwongsei), is a striking freshwater species native to the Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins in Southeast Asia, encompassing countries like Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China.Renowned for its elongated body, high dorsal fin, and graceful swimming patterns, this species is a standout addition. These migratory fish undertake seasonal movements within river systems, often traveling upstream to spawn and downstream to feed. Paroon Sharks require aquariums or indoor ponds with robust filtration systems. 

The Paroon Shark is indigenous to the Mekong and Chao Phraya river systems in Southeast Asia. These rivers flow through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and parts of China, providing the deep, flowing waters that the species prefers.The species adaptation to these environments underscores the importance of maintaining river health for the survival of aquatic biodiversity.
