Wantin a Paroon and got a couple questions

Post by Monoxide »

Hi, I was wondering about a couple questions I had.I was wanting possibly one or two of these.But I heard they get big.I have a 75 Gallon Tank I believe.Been so long since I bought it.Its aprox 48 inches long, 18 1/2 inches deep, and 17 1/2 wide.Would this be big enough?I dont want to get one and it get to big.Also are they hard to take care of?Any help is appreciated.Also if a Paroon is gonna get to big what other kind should I look into?Thanks alot Shane

Shane,

A Paroon is going to get way too big, see the cotm article on the subject. Go for a shoal of midwater swimming Striped African Glass cats instead?
