That tank was set up solely for the anti-social harlequin shark's
benefit. Funny, he is completely oblivious to the 3 little SAEs in
there. In my big tank he beat up my red tailed shark badly and sucked
the slime coat of one of my angels on a couple of occasions. Are the 3
SAE too small for him recognise as a threat? We'll have to see when the
SAE start to get bigger..

I can see a little nick in the tail's profile and the scales appear to
be raised slightly. The diameter of the "wound" is identical to the
mouths of the other Ancistrus. But I don't believe they would do that to
each other. My Harlequin Shark's mouth is big enough to swallow the 1"
sucker whole. Strange. Today, he is active as usual. So nothing appears
to be disadvantaging him.
