Hi,

I'm planning to move my chinese high-fin banded shark to my bigger pond. They're around 1.5" long and the bigger pond has a 7" redtail catfish and 10" tiger shovelnose.

I'm thinking that it's possible because there is a corydora there that I wasn't able to catch before and it is still alive until now. I just want to hear other, more expert opinions.

Thanks!
 
The high fin sharks will be eaten swiftly, my prediction is. Corydoras have 3 sharp spines and a nasty painful poke - a great deterrent. The high-fins are defenseless.

It won't take long until the corydoras will be preyed on too and your predators will either eat them or die trying when a cory gets stuck in the throat.

Abstract: Inspired by Jackass (a tv-show about self-injuring stunts), some friends topped off a drinking party with live fishes from their aquarium. After the goldfishes had gone down smoothly, a bronze catfish was ingested. Unaware of the morphology and anti-predator behaviour of this species, a healthy but intoxicated 28-year-old man got a surprise. The catfish erected and locked the spines of its pectoral fins and got lodged in the hypopharynx. After several hours, he presented himself at the emergency department with dysphonia and dysphagia. The fish had to be removed endoscopically. Intubation and admittance to the intensive care unit was necessary due to laryngeal oedema. Two weeks postoperatively, the patient made a full recovery and donated the fish to the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. The publicity generated by public exhibition of the ‘do-not-swallow-fish’ emphasised the official Jackass warning: ‘.. do not attempt any of the stunts you’re about to see’.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to catch the remaining corydora and I'll keep the high-fins separate.
