Thanks. Comes up as rare when I saw it and started researching it. Also known as Harlequin Shark. Main difference is the RedTail and Rainbow Shark are Asian and this one is African. This guy is supposedly more aggressive than the RT. But enjoying his colors currently before they fade as...

Variegated African Shark - 4 inches Male GBR - 3 inches Female GBR - 2.5 inches Angelfish again

Been a minute so thought I'd share some new pics Snakeskin Gourami - 8 inches Angelfish - 5 inches high Leaf Fish - 5 inches L075 Spotted Pleco - 5 inches

Might be easier if you search for someone local to you that is a selling on craigslist. At least you can guarantee they are close by. Offer them a few bucks for some seeing material.

lol been waiting for ya....

Where are you shipping from? How are you shipping? Any DOA guarantees?

Thanks. Couple #1 is already prepping. They've claimed the corner to the right of the driftwood in the pic and will chase everyone away. Except for Brutus (shark), he chases back. Problem is now trying to find when and if she lays eggs. Will be hard to tell them apart from the sand granules

update: Ended up getting two females and keeping both males. They've paired up and split the tank into halves. At feeding, they will meet in the middle with no issue (likely because there are fish 4x their size going nuts for food). Once food is gone, everyone retreats with and to their...

My shark is about 7 inches now and I've yet to see it take a bite out of anything, even platy fry. Maybe mine is a veggie hippie. :)

I don't see anything to heap the blame on the shark based on what's been posted so far. As aggressive as the barbs are with each other, I doubt an occasional chase from the rainbow is going to kill 7 barbs in a month. Suggest keep providing info and maybe a clue will develop as to what is...

I don't keep guppies so no argument from me. 3 gal isn't ideal for either species is what it now boils down to then.

The betta is now settled in and looking to claim territory. 3 gallons is too small for it by itself. The guppies are probably only making it worse. Don't see the aggression going away on it's own. Keep the guppies and get the suggested minimum 5 gal for the Betta.

If he's a do it yourself person, that's probably the easiest way to get him involved. We're always going to appreciate an opportunity to 'grunt' in front of our significant other. Have him build a filter, stand or some other project depending on his level of skill.

I've been there. Fish were nice looking but I didn't get any fish that day. They get their shipments on the same day as Fishtown USA so got what I needed from them since I know them. If Fishtown weren't around, I'd go to Marine as my 2nd choice.

amazon likely will be 1/3 cheaper than your lfs for the Eheim.
