[benzjamin13]

I wouldn't

 

[fugashaka]

so why especially no with the ornate bichir? is it because the bichir with mess up the shark? or vice versa?

 

[benzjamin13]

I think the Shark will eventually become a meal. And if memory serves me correctly, the Sharks may also suck on the slime coat of the Ornate as well.

well i got a rainbow shark with my dinosaur bichir and a few other fish, they seem to be doing fine as long as the tank is big and theres a lot of hiding places
