It is so hard reading your posts Grimreaper i am not trying to be rude but i cant really understand some of your post because of the lanugage your using,
Anyway, get 300gal tank then you can have alot of red tail sharks well a lot means 4
I agree w/ you about his posts being difficult to read, but isn't he from Houston?
Just teasing, Grimreaper.
Unfortunately, Red Tails, (along w/ Rainbows), are not compatible w/ their own kind or each other. For instance... RT & RT, Rainbow & Rainbow, and RT & Rainbow shouldn't be housed together. So you only have the choice of 1 or the other.
At least that's what I found out by researching them. I have known people that have housed them w/ very little incident, and others that had problems that ended badly. So, who knows.
I had a Bala w/ my RT, and for the mostpart they did "ok" together for 6 mo's or so. But the RT was a little rough w/ the Bala. The Bala btw recently passed and I did suspect my RT was the reason for her death. However, I was battling Ich at the time, so it could have been a mixture of the two.
Also, yes, I know I was bad for getting the Bala and putting her in a 55 gallon.
That was before I learned how large they can get, (n00b mistake). However, she was extremely happy in the tank and before she was too big, I was going to arrange for the local zoo to take her. I really miss that fish.
Best of luck to you, Grimreaper! Just remember to research, research, research! There are a lot of nice people on here to help guide you!
