A picture is worth a thousand words.
In this case, a thousand words can be summed up with: Holy hell that is a huge freaking fish! o_O

Not particularly old. Pangasiids (especially P. gigas) are among the fastest growing fish in the world.

Fishbase gives a maximum weight of 15 kilo for P. hypopthalamus. These fish, especially the one in the third picture, must weigh much more than that? Is Fishbase mistaken or are these not P. hypopthalamus?

The fish in the third picture is Pangasianodon gigas.
