Tiger barbs being bullied

[enrgizerbunny]

I'm wondering if my rainbow shark is about to go on a tank rampage. I don't think so, but the barbs used to think they were big and bad, note the tables have turned.

It's very possible, I was going to do a red tailed shark in my 100 gal community tank but heard that they could go on savage rampages

Same for rainbow sharks

I've heard of that before. He's not always like that, but at feeding time the whole tank gets feisty. I think it's funny to watch the barbs get chased, because they are usually the ones doing the chasing.

You have a beautiful tank.

Red tail sharks are highly intelligent and very playful. They love chasing other fish it is normal for them, but I personally have never had one actually hurt or nip fellow tank mates.

I trained my shark to play hide and seek with hand motions. The grand kids were always excited to come over and play hide and seek with the shark.

Two of the barbs are missing parts of their tails...
