Ive kept a Black shark and a banded Leporinus together before the Leporinus was full size and the bs was about a foot long, the bs was the boss and really kept the Leporinus in check but they are opportunist fin nippers and he was able to nip the black shark a few times while he was resting...

I totally agree with Garbage, the fish in question looks nothing like a harlequin shark. Here's mine

Overstocking isnt an issue in the other guys tank they are old vids,he no longer has the tinfoils/bala's/and p bass in there its a shark/labeo tank now and there is plenty of room.

Yeah that aquarium is deffinatley 180 US gallons ive seen it with my own eyes, Rick lives just down the road from me and that black shark is a monster! he's more like 24in now.

Ive got an adult black shark he's around 21in and has killed a fare few fish during his years but he will share a tank with certain fish you just have to choose them wisley.On the subject of big barbs why not try cigar sharks/mad barbs they grow big and are very easy to keep plus there a great...

Great fish! but it isnt a black shark! (Labeo chrysophekadion) the body and mouth shape are all wrong to be a black shark, i dont know for sure but it looks to be a colour morph of a red tail/red fin shark or it could possibly be a white tailed shark.

The barb in the first pic is a Drape-finned barb :good:

Yeah the Cigar shark, great fish! i keep one myself (below) he,s over a foot long

Harlequin shark (Labeo cyclorhynchus) are no way a schooling fish and they grow to over 1ft i know i kept one to 12in myself.

If they are white tailed sharks at the shop then i would get one if i was you as true white tailed sharks are very rare!

Funnily enough there called white tailed sharks :D not sure on the scientific name maybe Labeo Munensis they have the same general behaviour as redtail sharks and grow to the same size.

Great tank and pics :cool: Are the Chalceus agressive or fin nippers?

No he means the cigar shark (Leptobarbus hooveni)sp i have one over 12in and there exellent aquarium fish for large tanks they can get to 24in and do as ive seen one there top/midddle water fish and are not aggressive. Here,s a pic of mine taken a while ago at about 12in

Nice one m8 black sharks are great i have a 20in one in a 4x2x2 tank and he,s ok but could do with some more room so i will be upgrading soon just be sure not to keep him with cichlids. Have you got any pics?

I think it depends on the size of the filter and the amount of waste your fish make eg keeping large fish,i usualy clean mine about every 4/6 weeks

Is that Appolo sharks in your tank Paul, nice fish :thumbs:

Of topic, but hows your agressive Black shark doing Vip after his accident?

Thats a great tank, if i had a brackish tank thats the fish i would have aswell :thumbs: Btw you do know those shark cats will get massive dont you?

The Black Shark is housed in a 4x2x2 i know the tank length is not ideal but he,s in great condition with few tankmates and i will be upgrading to a 6x2x2 in a few months when i move house :thumbs:
