Get rid of her? Did they say why? You may want to get rid of it being that as an adult Colombian Shark Catfish needs saltwater.

She starts out in freshwater, moving to brackish, and finally full salt as she matures. If you want to learn more about the species, you can also search under arius seemani or columbian shark.
