Paroon sharks??

[Paroon sharks]

Can I put 3 paroon sharks in my outdoor but heated pond at 1.5 feet big? The pong is 450 gal?also what can I put with them if I do

Where do you live? What is the climate like?

This is probably not a good idea regardless. 450 is not very big for 3 very large, very aggressive fish. Sharks in captivity usually just doesn't end well from everything I have seen and read.

I agre 100% with that statement. At Animal kingdom in Orlando there is a paroon shark pond. To house one fish they need at least 1000 gallons. Maybe a channel catfish would work.

Sorry it's 4500 gal still to small?

 

[fort384]

The size might be ok, but I would still question locating it outside.

 

[bettaowner]

Do you mean 450 gallons? 4500 might work but I would wait until someone with more experience chimes in.

I'm in Ireland and I have an old flower bed so I converted it in to the 4500 gal pond. I have my sharkes in a tank at the mo. if u think not to put them in the pond what fish do u recommend that are cool not boring

I have no doubt they are cool fish. I just don't think they would probably do so well in a 4500 gallon pond that is outdoors in Ireland. I would think the pond would be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. They need a pretty stable temperature, probably in the low to mid 70s (F).

I think they are brackish too aren't they? Might be tough to maintain that in a 4500 gal pond.

Why do u think I wanted to help them by putting them in the pond? I'm not a fish murderer I know about this and the fish was about to give these away (the freezer) do I bought them

What's the climate like where you are at? Can you maintain 70-76F? Maybe you can make it work. It would be a tough road though. I am seeing recs for 500+ gallons to house one of these so keeping it indoors will be difficult.

Google Irish weather it rains a lot but I can keep a steady temp of 26.5 in my pond with my 2 heaters
