i made my aquarium around my shark.

Any bottom feeders or any other sharks will not go well with him. Make sure your tank is established and any other territorial fish have found their place, or he will claim your whole tank. Since mine is still young and small im not sure on this, but everything ive read says once they get to size they will bully anything not around the same size as them.

What size is this tank? 5 is the recommended minimum. Maximum depends on you. They're fast growers at 6 inches max in length.

Most of my yoyos ae females. A lot of stocks I have seen are composed of more females than males.

Odd?:lol: Most LFS just don't train their employees well but it's business. People work to make their ends meet.
