I had some paroons and I think it looks like the ones I had. Any chance of a better pic? I know they never stop moving.

Okie If it's an ID shark. Does ID shark change its color? Today morning he/she was fine but I don't know why that fish change its color

Thank you for attempting to get a better photo and this one clearly shows the fish to be an iridescent shark and not a paroon.I have had paroons before and I currently have a young paroon that I have been growing out and two things you can zero in on when trying to tell the two species apart are their tail and dorsal fins which are much larger and more pronounced in the paroon sharks.....they also have a different shaped head.
To your other question,color changes or light to dark fluctuations are normal in these fish,especially when they are young.

I ve had a few in ponds that changed color for no apparent reason, could be water quality or stress.
