Very nice. Be prepared to upgrade your tank in the future. I love sharks!

thanks :) i have a 75 gal in the basement for them when they start to outgrow the one they are in right now

Oh I'm glad to hear that. So many don't realize how big and active these guts are. I would love to see more pics when they're older.

yeah lol i know they can get over a foot long and the rainbow can be at least 6 inches or more, i always research animals before getting them, i wanted to get cichlids again but the bf wanted the sharks lol at least this way ill be able to get me an albino tiger oscar and a fire eel later on for the bigger tank cuz they are compatible with the sharks, so im happy with it. eventually i want to do a cichlid tank too though.

Sounds like it will be an awesome tank. I had columbian sharks and they were awesome. The got to be about 7" before one developed an ulcer then the other one didn't do so well alone. I had frontosa later on and they kind of hooked me on cichlids. Definitely keep an update on your tank (s).

ill be doing updates as they grow for sure :)

took a couple more pics of the fish, i added new ornaments and a new plant for the tank :) the rainbow shark is hard to take pics of cuz hes fast and shy but the balas are always easy to photograph lol
