i just got 2 iridescent sharks today one played dead but is now swimming now they dont want to eat any suggestions? please help
 
Irridescent Sharks are very cool. They're a schooling fish, so it's better if you get more. They can be very nervous in small numbers. At this point, they may jolt around the tank with any sudden movements around the tank and hurt themselves. And just so you're aware, they get quite big. So a big tank would definitely be in order with big fish that like to school.
 
yea im aware that they grow big ive had some before but died cause they wernt eating this is my second try at this, could it be that i have them with other fish?
 
also ive been reading that u can feed them meet or just wait a couple of days for them to get used to the tank... i have themwith 1 oscar,2 kois, 2 crawfish, 1 sucker, and 10 feeder goldfish they will probly get eaten by the oscar and craw fish tho. suggestions?
 
The koi and goldfish do not belong in a tropical tank. Have you correctly acclimatized the fish and what size tank do you eventually plan for them?
