albino iriscedent sharks

are they different then other irid. sharks(other then the color)
do they have special requirments or other needs that normal irid. sharks don't need?

Raise them the same as standard color Pangassius cats. I have a tank with 10 standard and 3 albino irridescent sharks and they mix as one shoal.

Better yet, don't get any kind of irrdescent shark at all. They get way to big for most tanks, like to live in shoals and are fast moving pelagic fish.

I think they look better in pond environment...and able to grow out to their max size...

The black fishes are pacus bro.

 

[kentobizmol]

thought so, since they were too round for a shark and plus the "sting" on the back wasn't visible.
"sting" kinda looks like a stingray tail don't it.

oh by dA way, do people still sell black pacus?
if so , who??

My shoal is currently in a 180 since they're all about 4" now. I got them at 2" and the 180 was fine for them. I just got in another 650gal. A local welding shop is constructing the stand for the new setup and I just finished the W/D assy that'll handle the 3000gph flow to the new tank. I'll plumb the setup once the stand arrives and transfer the shaol after the tank 'pops'.
