blue line shark

Canyou describe it? I don't think that's a common name for any tropical fish...

Hope you haven't gotten one yet !! Do a little research on the fish they get enormous, think 3 feet+ !! I wish stores would just stop selling them, there are very few people that can properly keep these fish

umm they grow a lil bigger then 3foot they can grow to about 6 foot we have 1 in a pet show near us

Paroon Sharks, related to Iridescents and prob'ly what that 6 footer was, can get up to 10'. Both are in the same family as the Mekong Giant catfish that's currently the largest catfish (possibly the largest freshwater fish). None of them are aquarium fish. Iridescents less so than most because, in addition to getting 4' long, they're schooling fish, so you're not looking at a tank, you're looking at a swimming pool.

That said, a school of 8 or 10 of those in a nice 5,000 gallon pond, maybe with a big ol red tail lurking at the bottom would be darn cool.

Tks, i also got to know the real name of these pet sharks. our khi market guys have thier own encyclopedia for animals.

Just wanted to know if there are any feeding tips to these iridescent sharks, we have a pond with a couple of these sharks in black and only one is albino iridescent shark which is very shy.
oh and not to forget the koi's , the parrots, the grammys and bala sharks ... and a turtle.
seems all are fine but these albinos sharks. lost 3 of the small 3 inch white albino sharks in two days, guess due to winters and lack of heater in our pond (which was a security measure due to the previous accident)
any tips for these white albino iridescent sharks?
