RachelElizabeth Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Looking for general advice on keeping a Chinese high-fin banded shark! So I am the family fish-nerd, but my brother absolutely fell in love with the Chinese high-fin banded sharks at my local fish store. After about 5 or 6 months, plenty of research, and a long talk with the LFS employee, I finally said okay and we brought one home. He is currently living in my 300 gallon indoor goldfish mini pond (a converted cattle trough, lol). Once the weather warms up, the plan is to transfer him to my parents' outdoor koi pond. We've had him about a month and he seems to be doing very well, but I have never met another hobbyist that has one of these guys, so it would be great to get some tips from someone who has successfully kept high-fin banded sharks. Any advice is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Burkhalter Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Well, they get about four feet and will need at least four feet of depth in the winter. Assuming it freezes. They will eat a lot and require a lot of water changes. How big is the koi pond? These fish are more fragile than most koi and will require good water conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
