Recently I posed a question regarding an ID or Iridescent Shark and I want to thank everyone who replied and welcomed me to the site. I did some more research and found out as Babel said that yes indeed they can grow to be very large. I discovered that they are actually a catfish and come from the Southeast Asia area. To take a quote from Wikipedia (a very good source of info by the way) "Iridescent sharks get frightened easily and play dead. They also have bad eyesight so they may swim into the glass of a tank and hurt themselves." Just thought I would post this info for future reference if anyone is interested. Once again, thank you all for your help.
