    Canopy Lighting

    Canopy Lighting

    Columbian Shark Catfish

    Columbian Shark Catfish

    I have one of these sharks set up in a new aquarium. All day he is constantly swimming, doing circles around the aquarium, always around the glass on the four walls of the aquarium - amazing and fun to watch - but is this normal for them? I do have live plants and lots of hiding spots. The...

    Fish need to breath too. How is there oxygen getting into the tank? That's murder, man.
