ive been reading random threads,and read that if you have enough,you can get rainbow sharks to school,is this true?if so,how many do i need? how big of tank do i need?could i have rainbows and redtails?i think this would look really cool.
ok,i guess ill just keep my rainbow without other sharks.They will school in a large enough (20+) group, but they'll need a huge tank. In aquaria, they really are best kept singly. Red tails will not co-exist well at all in groups and shouldn't be mixed with rainbow. A single rainbow shark makes a much better "community" addition than a red tail IME.
not if you do your reasearchthankfully,when i got mine i didnt have room for a school,or id be rehoming some sharks.They fool you since they act so peacefully when small.
