🐟Iridescent shark
低眼巨鯰（学名：Pangasianodon hypophthalmus），又稱低眼無齒𩷶、虎頭鯊、鯊魚鯰，是𩷶鯰科的一個物種、原生於东南亚河流的特有種。牠的型態與鲨鱼很相像，但是其實是鯰魚的一種。因為牠會有着彩虹色的外表，所以英文的意思為“彩虹鯊魚”（Iridescent Shark）。 本物種見於越南湄公河盆地及泰國的昭拍耶河。我們日常在超級市場購買的急凍鯰魚柳，就是由這種魚的肉製成的，但都是透過養殖場來培育。此外，也被當作其他魚的食糧而被引進其他河床。其獨特的外表亦使本物種獲得水族饲养愛好者的垂青。 這種魚是雜食性，除了會吃甲殼類生物及其他魚類，也會吃植物。
