Hard to watch but it's mild really, I must have a talk with two 1m paroons who attacked 1.5m piraiba

- The 5ft / 1.5m piraiba got attacked by two 3.5ft / 1m paroon shark catfish, who were not supposed to be hungry but maybe it is the breeding season that drives them to doing things like this. Paroons do have a bad reputation from some peers of being outright killers and predators, which is coming more and more true with years in our own experience. They will need to be separated from tank mates and maybe even from each other at some point, if it continues like so.

Wow thanks for sharing
This is what makes the difference on keeping a specific fish in mind or keeping a community tank. But for me I wanted to focus more on one fish and that's what I did. No one has a massive piariba in home and u shouldn't lose urs brother to make ur mark! I'm sure u understand what I am talking about bud. Hopefully he heals well!
Yea, it worries me too. I really need to get more large tanks, the sooner the better. Gotta find $10K to buy the front window for the unfinished 10K but such money don't lay around.
@@Fish-Story facts
I like your Fish and Aquarium 👍
Oh wow those are some big monsters! I hope that heals fast!!!
Anything can occur but most usually catfish heal fast and clean. If all goes well, I expect this to heal up in a couple of weeks.
Good old fashion ass whooping always does the trick 🤣🤣
That'll learn ya.
Can't wait to see if this works, great video
It's been about a week now and so far so good. Watching closely, of course.
Couldn’t it be a defensive attack? It’s difficult to believe they could eat a 50% bigger fish. Also, Piraíba can’t defend itself?
No because no one attacks the paroons, except an occasional advance by the moody Jau boss. The paroons don't reason that way - can I or cannot swallow the prey - this is decided after the prey is killed. No, piraiba's mode of coping is flight.
Netting might work, but then again it might make them take their stress out on the paraima. I would re-home them asap.
You may be right. I tend to think this was rather a predatory attack, so if I feed them more, this may not repeat itself.
The paroon shark is for me the most agressive catfish in the world . Iridescent shark are way more calm and gentle giant , they can live with smaller fish and wont eat them if you feed them well . I hope that what you did will be enough to stop attacking the piraiba .
Not in the context : have you ever keep black ghost knife fish or aba aba knife fish ?
Ohio fish rescue got an Aba aba
Paroon have the same personality as iridescent shark = timid. The huge difference IDS is utterly non-predatory while paroon is utterly predatory. How this coincides with timidness, IDK, but it does. My working hypothesis is paroons attack only for food and no other reason, except they maintain hierarchy with other paroons. ... We have had one BGK for the last 3-4 years. Never aba aba.
These fish almost need a tank of their own. They're just too intelligent and aggressive to be kept
You may be right. I tend to think this was rather a predatory attack, so if I feed them more, this may not repeat itself.
I said it before, and I will say it again, if you insist on keeping predatory monsters like paroons, make them a tank of their own. You can't make yourself alpha in a world that isn't yours to reign in.
Thank you. Why hadn't you told me that before we rescued the 6 paroons in 2016? :) That may be true but we are still trying to ride out and balance this act, will try to feed them more as well. I wish the 10K was finished already. It takes years to build new large enough tanks. ... I don't know what this reigning accusation is about. I am trying to work with what is given and make the best of it. The result is extremely far from perfect, that's agreeable, but I'd like to think that on the scale of years we have been progressing.
No offense intended, you do amazingly well. I'm merely stating the obvious, you are a land dweller and cannot be inside that tank 24/7 to keep those monsters from killing each other.
Thank you for the clarification. Now I get it. I thought it might have been sarcasm. Sorry. Yes, agreed. Everything I know about paroons tells me it was a predatory attack because they don't attack other fish for any other reason (except other paroons). So feeding more often than 1x a week should help.
I'm confused what fish would attack this Monster?.
Two paroons attacked the piraiba. I saw with my own eyes.
I thought it was always the Paraiba that was the king of the tank especially after Big Bad. Boy was I wrong. Paroon sharks aren’t no joke.
Was a shame about big bad
@@dazellis8057 Did I miss an episode that explained what happened to the midas cichlid?
@@jonathanparker5375 Aiden the midas is in a 220 with other smaller midas, he was overfeeding in the big tank.
@@jonathanparker5375 he went back to his tank he was over eating then the flowerhorn was let free with them then flowerhorn moved and now hes back in the midas tank in a sectioned off side with atum and all the smaller midas
Everything was duly reported. You can search our videos using "Atan".
piraiba is a way more valuable epic fish. Get the paroons out if possible :(
That's true. I wish the 10K was ready to take the piraiba in.
They need that tank just for themselves dude not with the others or get rid of them. Lol
That may be true but we are still trying to ride out and balance this act, will try to feed them more as well. I wish the 10K was finished already.
Did the Indian take a swipe at you once or twice?
The Indian shovelnose catfish is still in 300 gal timeout. The one bumping in me is the TSNxRTC hybrid. No swipes. It is merely not afraid of me versus all other tank mates.
What was the point of netting them and releasing? Trying to put them in time out?
I’m wondering the same 🤔 I don’t understand why stressing them out will help with their aggression?
Its a temporary fix. These are extremely intelligent fish. He's kind of showing them this place is not safe for the moment. If it works is another story
It works half the time it depends on the fish Paroons are highly active super predatory fish though not your average cat
Right. Well, this is just experience based - after a stressful shake up fish tend to change their behavior. For how long - I address it in the video. The main idea is to feed them more and see if this solves the problem. Together with the initial shake up.
This tactic has been successful for me on my TSNXACURA.
Good to hear. What was the problem in short and how long has it been problem-free since you had done this trick?
