Silver Tipped Shark Catfish (Colombian Shark Cat) - Ariopsis seemanni / Hexanematichthys seemanni
The Silver-Tipped Shark Cat is one of the few catfish that actually have a close resemblance to a shark, hence the name.
They are fairly peaceful though smaller tank mates will become food as it grows.
They are brackish fish by nature and found around brackish environments in the wild so low brackish is needed as juveniles with the salinity needing to be increased as they grow.
Note, they grow to 14" and require a bigger tank.
Size is currently around 2".

My new little buddy arrived perfectly safe and healthy. Been eyeing this “shark” for about 25 years. Excellent service and selection.

I wanted to get three for my brackish tank, but they only had one in stock. I place an order for it and some other fish. All came healthy, alive, and acclimated to my tank quickly. Thanks for the great service
