Question
hey I read one of your topics about the Silver-Tipped Sharks and was wondering why my pet store never told me about anything you said they needed....like brackish water, they like there own kind to be with them or the simple fact that they get a FOOT long! i have a 55g tank and have 2 severums, 1 dragon goby, 2 weather loaches, 1 black loach, and a blue crawfish with this fish will he be alright with that?

Answer
The only thing you might want to watch out for is the blue crawfish, that might be a little bit of a problem as the silver tipped shark tends to hang out on the bottom of the tank and the crawfish might see it as a meal. Other than that is sounds ok! It definately will need brackish water by the time it's an adult. I honestly cannot tell you fully which fish will and will not get along as each fish has it's own personality. I hope htis helps!
