just picked up a 11" paroon today. whats the requirements of these guys to stay healthy and grow to be monsters!
 
people say they have very slow growth rates. total bull. they grow extremely quickly IF they are kept in a large enuf tank that they can swim in a nonstop motion. they r called sharks for a reason. they7 NEVER stop swimming. so if a large enuf space is given, they can grow extremely successfully and to MONSTROUS sizes. i rescued mine at 14'' and 7 months later in my pond he is over 2 feet long (26''). I feed him massivore pellets. largest one ive seen iun captivity was a 5 foot monster living with pimas. it was magnificent.
