are hi-fin banded shark any fun? and also why are they so expensive? around here they range from 40-70 $$ for a 4 incher ( im a cheap ass the most expensive fish i have is sailfin flyer pleco 50$ atleast thats what the pet store called it lol )
 
Don't know about the shark but cheap is good.
 
i have some 5" ones in stock, $12.00 each, they're very peaceful, and easy to keep, they are scavengers, so give them plenty of food like plecotomus, and they'll do great. don't expect them just to eat ****.
 
where are you, i want 2 lol right now i have the most ****ed up tank set up ever known lol i have a 6.5 -7 inch bala a same sized tinfoil barb 6in brown knife 2 rainbow sharks about 6 in ( one is fkin obese ) 2 large gourami's 2 fully grown kribinsis a 7inch pleco and a elec blue lobster-crayfish and i "had" a black ghost knife but the krib's ripped him up :( in a 45gal with xp1 canister ( i also need a new light hoood i only have 2 18' 15watt bulbs)

i also have a 10gal with 2 sunset chuna(dwarf gourami) 1 spotted pleco ( sunset pleco soon) 5black tetras and 2glass cats and 2 khuli loaches

i was wondering if in the ten i should get a hi fin or if i should go with just a cory cat

any advice on how to "fix" the 45 would be VERY helpful


i love the hi fins :D
 
thats weird cause all the places round here have them in warmer water they all say they should be in 85 or so instead of around 80 :\ uh oh lotsa dead fish soon :(
 
Your Hi Fin will not survive in a tropical tank. They need cold water -70 and are much better suited for a pound.

On the 45 gal you are almost to the point you will need a bigger tank.
 
they are usually wild-caught juvies. taking them from the wild has a chance of destroying future breeding populations. plus, the seller didn't mention that they were cold water and more suited for pond life with gold fish or koi.
