Can you buy one and would they live in cold waters?

Yes, you probably could acquire one from somewhere in Asia online if your willing to spend the money, I do believe their pretty uncommon in the US and elsewhere outside of Asia.

They can tolerate temps from 68-82'F/20-28'C.

They are "NOT" recommended for home aquaria as they get huge (10' :eek: ) and require alot of swimmimg space. Also they are a endangered species in the wild, but are raised on farms for food.
A quick search at Planetcatifish yields a excellent profile,
