Just got myself a Paraya

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Jelly - cool, good one, got a pic?

Btw it's payara, paraya sounds similar to piraya, the piranha ;)

I think they should be kept pretty hot, 28 or 29 degrees, and unless it's very small, have a good current. Oh I see it's 4 inches, wait till it bulks out a bit before adding a strong current.

I like them a lot, I want another one.

What have you put it with?

And what have you fed it so far? I had one imported for me last year, and it wouldn't touch anything but live fish.

Strike two, strange because I usually paste it from somewhere else.

I have seen them for a long time in the shop and always fancied one. Will try and get some pics up.

I have upped the temp to 29. Wildwoods assured me it was eating live shrimp, I have had no success feeding yet and will try some Danios later this week, Maybe it needs to settle, only been a couple of days. They also said it takes them about six weeks to get them on frozen. I know they achieved this on the last group they had so I will try my best.

If you have any usefull info please pass it on as I would love this guy to be a long termer and try and break the 10" 12" without it passing.

Currently living with my C. harcourtbutleri and some Botia.
 
Though they look very ferocious but they are actually very vulnerable, just make sure the tankmates don't attack him.
