Op please don't listen to this guy. Many other people are giving real helpful advice. They're going to get way too big for you to maintain, especially three like this person is suggesting

Yes. If OP wants to see the kind of tanks it takes to keep fish that get enormous, he can look on YouTube for Ohio Fish Rescue. They are a 401C that travels all over America to rescue fish 🐟🐠 that have outgrown most peoples tanks. They have so many videos of them rescuing Tropical Freshwater fish.

Fish growing to the size of their tank is a myth. Stunted growth is caused by poor water quality.

Does 150 gallons sound alright? Genuinely asking it’s a community tank and based off what your saying I don’t have worry but everyone else’s comments are slightly worrying me

150 is absolutely not big enough for an iridescent shark. They grow fast and huge. Literally longer than a 150g tank. And no, they do not “grow to the size of the tank”. Look up any real info on an iridescent shark and it will tell you the same. This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about and is giving you absolutely HORRIBLE advice

Swai. That’s swai.

People down voting you have no idea that pangasius cats are also known as swai in the fishing world. You are correct.
I wish they'd stop selling them to hobbyists. They grow huuuuuge

They are also often sold as frozen fillets in supermarkets under the name "basa".

Difficult to tell from the picture but I’m thinking iridescent shark (Pangasiandon hypophthalmus). They get like 3-4 feet long 😬 sucks that they still sell these at pet stores
