You got the pseudo freshwater sharks pretty much covered. Your idea about educating customers with the full potential size of the fish is great too. The only fish I have experience with on your list are Balas, they're nice in large schools... if only they weren't so skittish.

thanks. sometime this summer i will put together a final list of pseudo freshwater sharks and actual freshwater sharks. ill post it on here when i get it finished. i will try to include the real information in detail about how big these sharks get, how aggressive they get, how big of a tank is needed fro them to be happy when fully grown, if they need to be in groups to be more peaceful, and other information.

How about an albino ID shark? If you kept a regular with an albino, they can kind of symbolize yin and yang except I doubt they will like swimming in circles around each other all day.

Keep in mind the Chinese High Fin Banded can reach 4 ft. and loses its cute juvenile appearance/markings. You'll have to be certain you can keep up with the growth rate
