Re: Odd friendship.
Colombian sharks are incomparable with any "normal" fish - they will totally drive them into the corners or crevasses and eat all the food and pollute the tank massively. I doubt that 50% daily partials will support sufficient water quality to keep either puffer alive for weeks, much less months.

Re: Odd friendship.
The sharks are gone. Preuss Pets (best pet shop in Michigan) will find them a good home. They were starting to get on the big side the day was always going to come.
They were very well behaved and got along well with all the other fish. I had them for two years with three GSPs and Mr. Eight, as well as 4 Mollies. I didn't find they polluted my tank at all. They are bottom feeders and I fed all the other fish at the top of the tank. They did a great job cleaning up after messy eaters.

What were the nitrate levels in that tank? The set-up now should be much cleaner and healthier.
