|
Compatibility: Semi-aggressive

Diet: Feed this fish sinking catfish pellets, bloodworms, high quality algae wafers and other types of live or frozen foods.

General Notes: Also known as the Black Fin Shark, the Columbian Shark is a catfish which will grow quite large in an aquarium. It may also be referred to as Jordan's Catfish or the West American Cat Shark. The Columbian Shark has a high fin and long "whiskers" that gives it a classic catfish appearance. This fish likes to have more salt in its water as it gets older, some have reported keeping adults in marine tanks. They also become more territorial and aggressive as it gets larger/older. Can keep alone or in groups of its own kind...keep with tankmates of simlilar size, or they may disappear.

I think this is a brackish fish. I have tried to keep them twice,both times they where dead within 48 hours. It is a cool looking fish,when it is alive,what with its silver/black body. Get it if you have a (big) brackish tank otherwise avoid.
