if so, gets 4 feet, and WILL kill anything in the tank, and attack you if you put your hand in..

Answer 4

That's probably an Iridescent Shark ( http://catfish.cz/clanky/pangas/pang_3.j... ).  While they are generally 2-3 inches in stores, they should (and will) get aroudn 4 feet long ( http://www.fishbase.org/images/thumbnail... ) and need a 500+ gallon tank, really.  I would strongly suggest you do NOT get these fish!  A group of 3+ Cory Cats would be a MUCH better choice for a tank even as small as 10 gallons.
