megs Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have a black Shark called Simon HE is 20cm and re-arranges the tank to suit himself everynight!!! Never eaten anyone and he is in with Neons, barbs and platties and I do headcounts often and no one is missing. Can you tell me what tank mates he really should be with, I am trying to re-home him but don't want to led anyone up the garden path. In his current environment he seems placid. thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharronpaul Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi Megs, and welcome to the forum. I would put Simon the Shark in with similar-sized fish. My experience with sharks is when they get large they get placid, but we did put ours in with larger fish because a rule of thumb with fish in general is, if their tankmates will fit in their mouth, they will find a way! :lol: We had ours in with some of the bigger cichlids. We had him in with some severums and I think a pair of chocolate cichlids (was a little time ago!). Hope this helps. In any case, you shouldn't have any trouble moving him on. Lots of people with other larger fish like them as they make a reasonably placid tankmate. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Good advice. And BTW he's not even half grown yet, they can get up to 2' long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
