Ok, so my 30 gallon tank finnished cycling a couple weeks ago. I have a small bluegill sunfish and a rainbow shark right now, and I am getting an angelfish. Can I keep 4 glass catfish with them or will the cats get eaten?
Ohh and btw I know I shouldn't have a bluegill in this tank, I plan on upgrading to a larger tank when it gets bigger.
 
You shouldn't keep the rainbow shark in there, either. It's going to grow to be half a foot long, as will the sunfish.
 
Hello and welcome to AA :)

Rainbow sharks need a minimum of 55 gals. Glass cats will most likely always be hiding if you keep less than 6. The shark will grow pretty quickly. If you can't upgrade to a 55 gal within 6 months I would rehome the shark.
