Irridescent/Paroon Sharks PICS

[GodEsco1212]

any idea bird if i can throw in a paroon, hybrid rtc, rtc, marble cat, tiger cat, and arowana.
i accidentlly did the stupidess move i did a water change and shut filter off to clean it but never plug it in . my 2 redtails and hybrid died or murdered because of me the dead bodies are in freezer ready to be buried.
i cried allday because the were 12 inches and i had raised them since 2 inches. all my fish were babies and grown somewhat till i murdered three of them the spotlight of the tank are gone now.

The main visual identifier between IDs and Paroons is the dorsal fin, paroons have a trailer.

and their eyes don't protrude as much as id sharks. and they are normally black based.

Heres my two id sharks at 6 inches and 3 inches.

It's that expensive? U see them almost everywhere here! ppl buy them not being educated with there size at all! it's treated as a community fish next to nothing! they sell for no more than $5 for a 2-3inch around here!

There's a pricing difference between paroons and IDs. IDs are the cheap ones you see at a lot of LFS.

Yea when full grown 1000+ for them to live a nice life but as you can see Irridescent shark are sold cheap something like 3 for $12 paroons on the other hand are 3 for $66. So i think 55 gallon is good enough when they are less than 4 inches... then you need to upgrade
