Question about the Red tail shark... I am buying a tank full of plants from a guy who is breaking down his large tank and he has a few fish to rehome.
The Chinese or Siamese Algae Eater (only want SAE not CAE), Blue Gourami (give to a friend) and Red Tail Shark which are beautiful and I was thinking about maybe keeping. I have heard they are territorial though mainly when there is more than 1. I have no personal experience with this fish.
My Aunt used to have RTS with her Angel fish. So I automatically think maybe aggressive and get nervous.
For 72G
Pearl Gourami,
14 Cardinals+2Neons,
3 Otos,
8 Harlequin Rasbora,
pair of Black Skirts,
5 Glow light Tetra,
Community Male Betta
Bamboo Shrimp and two Amano Shrimp
2 Emerald Brochis and 2 Bronze Cories
and 1 Spotted Raphael cat.
Heavily planted tank.
Most of these are coming from the 37G so I know I need to increase some of the groups but that isn't the topic at hand. I will fine tune that after the tank is doing well in the transition period.
What I am wanting to know is how any of you think the RTS will get on with the current fish, ideally with previous experiences.
Thank you!
