Question

[afghan]

would it be okay 2 keep paroon sharks in a tank with african butterfly fish or not?
and if so what other fish would i be able 2 keep in a tank with paroon sharks?
cheers in advance

Paroon Sharks get 3 feet in length, so unless they are only around 5-8 inches they wouldn't be a good tankmates for many other fish. How big is your tank? The sharks would need, I would say around an 8 foot tank or so. There may be some other stocking options we could suggest for your tank.

aint got a tank yet lol
just thought id ask because i wana keep paroons when i get my tank
but wasnt sure what other fish i could keep with them as iv'e seen videos on youtube ov this guys paroon sharks eating bigger fish than them!
maybe its just best if i keep them in a tank by themselfs what do u think?
are they predator fish?

 

[afghan]

The difference;

Pangasius Hypophthalmus

Pangasius Sanitswongi

Indeed a tank at least 8 feet is needed.
