I have a 15 year old Iridescent Shark. He is about 14 inches long. Our tank is way too small and he keeps thrashing around, hurting himself. Of course when we got him, the fish store failed to mention how large they get. I feel horrible and need him to go to a good home. Please let me know if you or someone you know is interested.
Thank you.

If he's that old and only 14 inches, I'm absolutely amazed at how small he is. That might be the most extreme case of a fishes growth being stunted that I've ever heard of.

Amazed it's alive.

Wondering what size tank it is in now. PM me - I might set up one of my extra ponds for him. Depending on where in CT you are. (Indoor of course)

I never made any comments about the OP.

I have literally never heard of an ID that small that is that old. A healthy ID a few YEARS old is usually past that mark. I was honestly amazed when I read the original post, wondering if there was a typo. Thats about it, it was hardly an indictment of any person.
