They are freshwater so no. Shark catfish are a good brackish bottom-dwelling fish. Kribensis can handle brackish conditions too.

shark cats will need a huge tank though. for example, a columbian cat shark will need a tank of at least 75 gallons.

Kribensis can handle brackish conditions too. __________________ If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
