Precisely our experience too. Thank you.... Their behavior is must more skittish and they are far more easily spooked. Paroons are much more confident in their space. Good thing is black ears don't seem to share the same love of swallowing fish near the same size as them, but they will get more aggressive as they gain size.
great, after learning they are pussies so i bought another one after that they started eating started to feed them chicken, shrimp and fishesThey are similar to paroons mostly in appearance in my experience.

Please post updates!
Hi there. I just got my 12 centimeters Black Ear Catfish anf its been five days but it doesn't want to eat yet. Previous seller said that he gives sinking pellets, but it ignores it. Do you have any advice? Sorry for my bad english.update: all are doing well, fed them with sinking pellets they go in a frenzy like paroons good thing they dind't had the reputation of swallowing any living things in it's way like the paroon
