Do you have a pond or smthg? Everyday you buy a fish that grows larger than 2ft ??
Think currently at small size they will take both bloodworm and flake if hungry.
They will eat anything including each other during the young fast growth stage. Gettint them to eat won't be a problem unless you over feed.
Today I bought a 2 inch paroon shark fingerling, don't know what it used to feed on, the fish shop also don't have the pellets for me, but they have the pellets for their albino iridescent shark, I am thinking to feed them the pellets of the albino iridescent shark,let me know if this is correct 
I'm not sure what you mean by the shop doesn't have the pellets for you,(did they have paroon specific pellets that they are currently out of?)but the paroon should eat just about anything that the albino eats.....anyhow,good luck with the paroon,it's an awesome fish.
Paroon should eat many different things but to start with flake is good as they find it well in the water column floating at their level so good for getting them searching as a trainer food and filling their bellies along with bloodworm also.
I've never dealt 1sthand with paroons that small but as the highly experienced expert peers say above, you should have no problem with your paroon recognizing almost anything reasonable as feed. I'd be surprised if it refused any kind of fish food pellet or flake or bloodworm or pieces of frozen-thawed fish, etc. Let us know how it goes on...
EDIT: your statement about your store not having pellets for paroon but for IDS sounds strange. As Krich said above, we never heard of paroon-specific pellets but maybe there is such a thing in your country where paroons are farm raised. I doubt it though. The manufacturer's of commercial scale, cheap dry pelleted fish feeds make products for a wide spectrum of fish, like for instance ALL catfish, or ALL game fish, etc. Then there are manufacturer's of more expensive feeds and these are geared toward smaller groups of fish, like carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, algaevore, insectivore, etc. But never to a single fish species AFAIK.
