I doubt that your paroons are in "heat". How big are they? Paroons are hungry little machines and they can be bite happy at times.
 
both over a foot+ ...(thou your right they could just be hungry)

anybody else ever see any agro activity between their p. sharks?

Hey j, i think those paroons go back and forth messing w/ each other... i don't know exactly how much damage they can do to each other, but nothing serious has ever actually happened. Don't really think it's a breeding/spawning ceromony or anything of that nature tho?? :uhoh:

Try feeding something a little bit later tonight... you'll be amazed how they come to the surface and just start "smacking" the top of the water, doing 360's until they finally find the food!! :nilly: :eek: Uncanny?!! :uhoh:
 
LOL...I have 2 5" ones here that chase and dance with eachother....I would hope they weren't mating :).
