i have a rainbow shark, 2 catfish, 2 crabs and 3 barbs and I was wondering if i could get a killifish and a flying fox shark/fish

the people i've talked to at petsmart and they've said that my fish are semi-argressive and the killifish would not survive


And im now sure about the flying fox because ive read about rainbow sharks and they said they were hostile to other sharks.

so if anyone knows the answers too the qestions please tell me.
 
What type of killifish are you considering?

Petsmart actually gave good advice in this case. Most killis are timid around larger fish and are easily bullied/killed. Some types are semi-aggressive, but usually only towards other killifish during breeding. Most also need to be kept in uber-clean water to outlive their usual one year lifespan.

I wouldn't mix the sharks either.

What kind of barbs do you have?
