I posted a status a while ago about a friend of mine who had a 12-14" paroon shark, pangasius sanitwongsei I believe, in a 36" tank. I finally gave in and rescued it today, it's now in my 260 and loving the space. It has a really bad wound on its nose that has turned into a red growth, hopefully this will heal up now that it doesn't have to smash against the glass constantly.. Anyway, how fast do these fish grow? I know it would of course outgrow my tank but it spent its whole life in the 36" tank and hasn't grown at all since I first seen it around 18 months ago so will it still grow?
Paroon shark rescue!

If I recall the post correctly, I believe the situation it was in would have permanently stunted it. It's unlikely it will grow much more.

Stunted or not, it's in a way better situation now, well done

I'd do a water change anyhow despite the parameter readings.Something in the water has to be causing the problem,the cloudy eyes are a dead giveaway.
My rtc got cloudy eyes when he was in bad water quality, cause the tank was cycling.
If his eyes are cloudy do large water changes every other day until the cloud eye starts to go away.
