Appreciate all for the praise!
It took a little work in the beginning for this community to be cohabitated. Had to take a shark out of my faranah dabolas mouth. Had her snap(loud) before when this stsrted. Yes, there's some perching going on the plants. Yes, there's a chance that one shark may get taken out. It's been successful for 4 months I believe. I was looking for a schooling community. These sharks and chalceus group is working and will continue to grow. Just wanted to share my experiences ya'all. Thanks again.

Added this Congo river specimen a couple days ago to aid in eating the pellet leftovers. Apollo sharks spit out their floaters quite a bit.
The 2 chalceus get along fine. Apparently there's 2 different types of pink tails in the aquarium trade. Judging by other threads in the Characin forum. It's difficult or nearly impossible to have more than one of the same due to conspecifc aggression.
Read up on the aggression possibilities later down the road. Supposedly they do get rather large in the wild, but not so much in the aquaria 15-16" . That's what I'm expecting, lol. If size and behavior gets out of hand. I'll just rehome it as I did with my 15" Feng Feng Flag tail. Only reason i got rid of it as a precaution.
