They live for quite a long time. they also get 50"+ so unless you have a very large tank there not for you. they should eat anything you feed them and like tropical temps.

I think they shouldnt be for sale at all in fish stores, only by preorder. much to big for most home aquariums.

Irridescent sharks get big, and preditory... i'd say to get them to grow to their full extent before they expire... a 1000 gallon tank would be in order...

i figured irredescent sharks was too much to start with plus they seem to have ick so they took them back and we got 2 black telescopes/ black moors. any info on these is appreciated. like i said im a frog guy and want these fish to live for a while.so please.....any helpful tips.

What size tank is this?

Puffer Pita · 10-07-2006, 01:36 PM

Minimum of 20g each and they are cold water fish so no heater is necessary.

for 2 of each you should have a 75 gallon tank.
