These are not puffers. But they live with my puffers. I have two of them. I didn't know which forum to post this in, so my apologies if it is in the wrong one.
Here is a link to the video (they're too quick for a still shot): http://urlslice.com/twohappycreatures
The last video I uploaded on photobucket was degraded severely in quality, so I've left this one as is, hosted on my own server.
The video is in ASF format and should open up in windows media player after the download (not recommended for dial-up users - 19.3 MB).
I think they are some form of catfish or small shark. But I'd like to know exactly what they are so I can do some reading up on them.
what kind of fish are these

Looks like a fast-swimmer! Some kind of channel catfish or irridescent shark. Both of which are not BW species & grow to 4' long! What are they doing in there?

They were in the tank with them at walmart. So I figured they got along and bought 2 of them along with my 2 puffers.
I'd like to find out the specific name of it so I can google it and learn all about them.

I got those at the same time as the GSPs. When I knew nothing.It looks kinda like this:

Except mine are more golden in color, don't have black dots on them, and have a slightly reddish cheek, and the "whiskers" on the front aren't as prominent.
Same fins in the same places though. Same shape. So, we're close!

Yeah, that's wehat I was thinking. Now do a search on channel catfish & see how big they get! They are a FW, coldwater fish.
