Scientific name is Hampala macrolepidota.

They get big, as in you're going to need a 1000+ gallon tank for a school of them. Seeing as how you're in Malaysia, though, you could probably dig a large pond for them.



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I'd say big is an understatement;
according to fishbase, they get upto over 2'!

Indeed they look very nic, but not a fish to keep in a tank ...
