does anyone own an Indo pacific tarpon

 

[pupumole]

i do.... it eats massivore and most floating pellets/ shrimp . but mine is either crazy or maybe thats just how tarpon are, he tends to swim against the glass all the time, causing it to grow a tumor over time... or maybe its just cancer? dunno

I bought mine 5 months ago at 9". They're pushing 17" now. Eating smelt and shrimp. They grow fast. Not aggressive at all. Maybe I'm wrong but or they're intimidated by the other fish.

 

[hanzvelez]

mine are so far non agressive but not accepting pellets

 

[hanzvelez]

they do seem to get along with catfish and youg cichlids
