I have one on it's own in with arowana, peacock bass and a few cichlids and he's fine.

Have him for less than a year I think and is around 1' now.

Really nice fish. Eating pellets, sticks and prawns. Only freaks out if you're messing inside the tank
 
Giving it an appropriately large tank and aggression-free environment is more important than adding more of the kin. It is an open-water, constantly-swimming fish that needs more space than most. One of the several reasons it is called a shark is that being healthy and comfortable, it almost never stops swimming.

Dither fish of the constantly-swimming kind can help, I'd think.
 
Right. Their diet in the wild is mostly of plant origin, if not all when adults. They may scavenge. They can take a live prey if they have to but it is not the norm and in captivity they are one of the last fish needing live feeders.
 
Well.... for anyone following this thread i got 2 more and i got a total of three now... im gonna start a growout thread for these guys soon on hee..
