Columbian Shark :d

Got myself a Columbian shark the other week and it is gorgeous!

It is only about 3" at the moment and i plan when it gets to about 6" maybe 7" moving it into a brackish tank or selling it on to someone who already has a tank set up suitable for it..

He is really active and is very friendly, doesnt bother any of the other fish. does anyone know how to sex these fish?
Here's a few pictures:

He's quite quick and my camera wasn't fast enough to get a picture in time lol, will get some more up soon

as you said these fish are brackish and get quiet big. i had 4 well over 14 inches in a 6.5x2x2 for a while, they will need a very big tank.....

Thanks i think i may go to the sea life centre near me and see whether they will have him when he grows up as they take loads of fish in, normally common plecs as people will buy them and they will outgrow their tank too quickly.

i like the heavy decor in the tank :L Less is more? haha
