richms Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have just moved everything into a 1650mm tank, and its looking a bit sparse. I have a big black shark - would be about 170-200mm, and there is another on trademe going quite cheap so it sounds like the ideal way to get more happening in the tank without spending a hell of a lot. The thing is the one I have seems to be very possessive of his corner of the tank, and the 2 big plecos take the other end. What are my odds of another black shark settling in ok or is it not worth the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I wouldn't do it if I were you. Or, if you do, have somewhere else to put it if things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monaro1 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 i have two big black sharks living together in the same tank,they have been in there for about a year now. they hang around with my clown loaches and dont cause any trouble, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 That's good to hear. I gather it very much depends on the sharks' personalities. Perhaps you have 2 females who are less aggressive. Did they also grow up together? That can make a difference too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richms Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Got the one I have off trademe quite some time ago, when it was all in a smaller tank - it would be about 180mm long, most of the time just sits behind the driftwood - Has a bit of a go at the small bristlenoses that get to close but doesnt seem to be beating anything else in the tank up.
