Has the tank just been set up and not properly cycled?

The Tank has been running for 2 years, I do suspect low oxygen levels .

Are the bala sharks behaving strangely? Low oxygen levels would affect them more than the Pangasius.

Pangasius is looking a lot better today. I think the extra oxygen helped the situation because the Bala sharks are less twitchy too.(and eating well)

I showed my friend a few pictures of the Pangasius catfish at there adult size, he still wants to keep it and asked what size tank he needed I said â??seal the doors up and fill Youâ??re front room up with water that should do â??.

I hope he donates it to a public aquarium or something when it gets big, his house is to small for the size aquarium(pool/pond) he would need.
