Now that I Google it, I think Aquaria Central profile is wrong, they do indeed get about 3 to 5 feet.

NP....
just gettin frustrated with the way this thread is going...

Paroons grow really quick and have a big appetite for anything..They max out at 2 ft and are fish full or personality..

As far as food goes, you can feed them anything from pellets to feeders..They will eat just about anything

And they are, just like pacus, very easy to frighten and will bump really hard against the windows of your tank. But if you have the space they are beautiful fish to own. Like sais they can reach 2ft and are very active and fast swimmers, so they need a lot of tank space.

Perhaps that will help a little.

Are the parrons that same thing as the mekong catfish? Or a smaller relative?

EDIT

Nevermind, its not. They still get hugh though.

Fupakiller, In the threads I referenced, all mentioned diet and feeding. I was not going on about the size (I felt you were well aware of that) , I tried to find some info on feeding.

Holy freaking cow! That mekong catfish could swallow a small child!

*shiver*

You know, I always wanted to convert a large pool into an aquarium, but both of those fish would be a little too large for my liking.



Good luck feeding and taking care of it. I'm sure you'll do a great job!
