really hard to take pic of them, swim too fast.

i got 2 paroon sharks, 18 inch, and 16 inch, staying same tank wth my 2 young RTC.

they like to swim, swimming for whole day in my 120gal tank, i observe them for more than 16 hours in my living room, they jst never stop..!!!! lol

i feed them chicken fillet ( which more economical).

Nice pics.. Are these guys known to be aggressive. I know in a different thread, that someones paroon shark bit a chunk out of a TSN. How aggressive are they? How fast do they grow? Are they hyper? Do they tend to startle easily and hit sides of tank etc?

 

[vinson lim]

they are jst fine wth my RTC fish, peaceful and hormony....

 

[yoimb0b]

they do tend to startle, and make fast movements when they do. Mine would freak out and smash into the side of my tank, (luckily he was only 8 inches) and it was acrylic.

I wanted to get one of these, but no fish store around here ever gets them in.

What kind of tankmates do you all have with your paroons? Will they eat anything smaller then their mouths?

yeah, they do most likely just eat food being smaller than their mouth, they berely eat anything being alive if they are fed enough, a 4ft paroon shark might eat a guppy though but you understand what I mean They are vegetarians when adults.

Adults are not to happy with tankmates and try to chase other fish away all the time.
