What fish go together?

[TokeTiger]

Can you put fish in with sharks/all sharks together? I don't have the heart to test it out myself lol.... and can herbivores and carnivores go together as only as it isn't a predator? And lastly, can all different subspecies of piranha go together or do the more aggressive ones kill all the others?

Thanks in advance, I don't have the heart to possibly kill my little fishies...

Hi,
Yes you can keep other fish with sharks. You can also keep carnivorous fish with herbivores and even predators. There is one condition - as long as the fish are not hungry, they will not hunt each other, so an automatic feeder will be very useful here.
The only exception are piranhas, which will attack all other fish except other piranhas, so you can easily keep different species of piranhas in one aquarium but not with other fishes.

Watch out for the electric catfish! He must be alone in the aquarium otherwise he may cause the death of other fish!

Thank you so much! Great to know :)

Well it makes sense that you can since the game seeks to emulate real life to a degree, and speaking as someone that actually has several species of shark in home aquaria...there are many fish that you can safely keep with them, plus of course others that you cannot (some being quite surprising...such as tangs can actually bully smaller shark species to death)
