Hey Bro, the Paroon Shark and I.D. Shark a.k.a. Irridescent Shark are very closely related but only the Paroon Shark get very big and very aggressive.The Paroons max at about somewhere around 6-8 feet long and very wide aswell but the I.D. Shark get to be only like 3-4 feet in lenght and not so wide but still big....
Only on MFK could someone say something like "get to be ONLY like 3-4 feet in length"!!!!catfishlover106;1722346; said:
nope.
even when young its pretty easy to distinguish them.
paroons are normally darker in color and are fatter too.
plus they look less elongate.

To Anyone that visits the Catfish forum... NO Nothing alike... but to someone who's only seen them in passing a couple of times, yeah they do look alike as their basic structures are similar (not the same but close)
Here is a picture of both fish. THe upper fish is an Imperial ID (Paroon) Lower is a ID shark. Body structure is different. Imperial is fatter, wider not as elongated. They have long strands hanging from fins. ID is streamline. Hope this makes it easier to visualize. It took an hour to get them in the same frame for picture. Sorry for the quality.
