hey,
I recently bought a 9" Iridescent shark at the fish store. I put him in my 100 gallon tank and he just stays on the gravel in a corner. when he does venture out he stays at the very front of the tank, rubbing his nose off the glass. Is this unusual behaviour or are iridescent sharks just like that?
He shares the tank with 4, 5" bala sharks,
2, 5" appollo sharks and a 7" synodontis catfish, none of which seem to bother him.
Id love some help on this, so anyone who knows about these sharks, please help me.
Thanx!

My Iridescent shark swims on one side of my tank and keeps his face on the glass while swimming back and forth unless we mess with the tank then he tries to jump out.So basicaly I think it's normal

When your sharks go along the tank glass they are actually exercising. They cannot afford to be afraid and sit on the gravel all day or he will be fat fish.
