You can also give the catfish away.

Good, you will kill all your other fish if you don't find a home for the Colombian Sharks. They need space to shoal. As they get larger, they will get more "aggressive", I put the quotes because any larger fish especially with a brooding mouth will eat anything that can fit in is mouth. They also need more salt when they get older, which your other fish are not compatible with.

That is not a good reason to want fish.

They are swimming at the surface because they need room to shoal and they are stressed.

Again, you get a fish that you can take care of. Not something that looks cool. Try and act a little more mature about this, they are a living creature. I live in a small apartment and don't do much physical activities, So I'm not going to buy a Great Dane just because it looks cool.

Find another home for them, then you won't have to worry.

Don't get more fish. Your tank is already overstocked.

First Off, what the hell. Don't you ever say that I don't give a damn about my fishes lives. I am an Ichthyologist that specializes in river life and I am current employed by the state of Wisconsin D.N.R. I have handled hundreds of adult salmon and trout at fisheries. And we are trying to stop the spread of the Asian carp before it reaches the great lakes. I have a huge passion for fish. I have had tropical fish for 16 years. So do not lecture me on how I do not care for fish.

When I meant by a fish that looks cool, I mean a fish or fish's that are good and will not drag me into a financial hole.

And I will be getting rid of the shark cats

also I cannot find my albino pleco anywhere? can they hide gravel?

Keep it cool people. There is no since in talking this way to a person answering your questions with honest answers. By the way the questions were stated it seemed like all you were interested in having cool fish no matter if they can stay in a small tank or not.

Please keep it civil or I'll lock this thread.
