Watch out because they are great jumpers. I have one male that pretty much dominates the top of the tank when it's comes to food, if it can fit In his mouth it could possibly be food. I've seen ghost shrimp eaten whole( took a while to get it down but he did) when he was two inches, but he's very peaceful and would never attack another fish.

which fish are you talking about exactly?

Final warning. Your shark will likely kill your whole tank when it starts getting older. Do with that information as you will.

hes probly my fav fish too

Golden wonder killifish, I've lost 1 to not having a secure lid

ive read if the red tail is only really prompted to be aggressive when mingled with his own kind and is confined to a small space (such as my 10 gallon but im considering upgrading fairly soon anyway) will it still attack my other fish?

 

[Kushgodrex]

Probably, sharks all tend to do that, i had to donate mine to the lfs because they tore my fancy finned fish up

 

[Kushgodrex]

My version of attacking other fish is nipping at their tails. And top fins. They even got my clown loach one time, always got my angels and even got my bicher one time when I tried to keep them separated from my main tank

Mine were rainbow sharks but they are basically the same thing

do you think they would bother the danios is I schooled maybe 6 of em and put the in with the shark? I doubt the shark could catch them right?

Maybe, fish act different. See how he plays out now. If he gets aggressive in the future have a plan ready, whether to separate or add faster fish. I know what you mean though, I keep faster fish with my Texas chiclid because it keeps him from beating up on the other slower fish. But he's a territorial type of aggressive. Just plan for the worst, hope for the best.

But the problem is he's still going to outgrow your tank

 

[Kushgodrex]

Easy solution, get a bigger tank, or take him to a specialized fish store or not a franchise type pet store, they will usually buy him for half of what he's worth at best
