I am just wondering if anyone has kept Iridescent Sharks and Poly's together? The sharks are slightly bigger than them, but all they do in my other tank is swim up and down over and over and over again in the bubble wall LOL The sharks tankmates are platies and mollies, so I don't think they'll eat my Poly's, and I don't think I have to worry about the Poly's eating them, atleast not yet as they are only around 4inches or less. Oh! one more question, do ghost knifes do ok with the sharks? I know they're ok with the polys. Sorry for all the questions, I am not new to fishkeeping, just can't find the info I need online.
*Note to all, the sharks were my one and only oops buy, I know they can get to 4 feet in length, and realize that sooner or later I will need to rehome them...(hint hint to those with HUGE fishtanks LOL)*


Thanks :)
 
the sharks probably didnt eat the mollies cause theyre too small and a waste of energy.
but if they get the chance,they may eat the polys.
 
i have about a 8.5" id shark with a 6-7" poly and there has only been 1 problem and it wasn't the id. when they were younger the poly grabbed a hold of my id by the tail and didn't let go. the id swam wildly from one side of the tank to the other, and when they separated the id had a huge bite sized chunk missing in his tail.
