Indo Tarpon update

[StripeGirl]

They are doing great,sizes are 10-14 inches.They eat silver sides,market shrimp,dried krill,worms,pellets,etc..They are super active and never fight with any other fish including there own kind.One of my favorite fish i have ever owned.

My latest problem with them was that i have noticed marks on there sides where they are being attacked.The culprit was a huge sail fin pleco that has been moved.

Looking good. Mine still won't take pellets but will take most frozen or dried foods (I just stick pellets into the whitebait so he gets some anyway)

I don't know about this species but there is a boat dock in a town in Puerto Rico that I visited and there is a large school of tarpon that live there.Some of them look to be about four feet long.There was a guy off to the side selling bags of bait fish for tourists to throw to the tarpon,the swarms would get crazy at times.They did'nt seem to agro,more like a bunch of hungry koi.

They are a peaceful fish,aggressive at feeding time but only towards the food not other fish.This species does not get to the massive size of some.A few feet is more like it.I got them 1 year ago at puppy center in Connecticut.They doubled in size in 1 year.
