Hey, I'm new to owning an aquarium, just wanted to get one for the apartment. I only have one fish right now and its an Red Tail Shark. Just one problem is that he/she isn't black, more so grey and the tail isnt all that red at all. I was also wandering what temperature the tank should be (I heard many different temperatures and some not even close to others), what I should be feeding it (live or dried, vegetarian or shrimp/worms, etc.), what other fish would be good to have in the tank with these guys, and any other information that would help keep this guy healthy.
My tank is a small 10 gallon tank but he/she is the only fish in there. Nothing special just 5 plastic plants and a Pirate ship for hiding. white pebbles. It also has a hood with 2 lights. Right now I'm feeding him shrimp pellets with a few dried bloodworms as a treat. I have also put pieces of lettuce about the size of a dime in the bottom of the tank a few times because I saw that they need vegetation in their diet.
