The Colombian Shark looks cool. Did not know they could do both freshwater and saltwater. How did you acclimate him to the saltwater?
Cool, I was reading online and they said they need to start out in freshwater as a young fish, and can be moved over to salt. That fish might be a good candidate for my 90 gallon some day.
How long have you had it? I never knew these were saltwater.
Just saw this and read up on liveaquaria. It looks like they agree that they do fine in salt water. Makes me want to try it too. I wonder how they would be in a reef, it says they are peaceful.
You basically want semi-aggressives that are larger than the Hawk. Dwarf Angels, smaller Tangs (Tomini, Kole, etc), Foxface, probably some wrases...the Clowns will probably be okay with any of those.
That "shark" is basically a catfish, so they are going to be aggressive eaters. Like Lions, odds are, if they can get it in their mouth, they will eat it. I had one years ago in a freshwater tank. Never knew they like some salt, or that they could go pure saltwater. I may get one at some point now.
