does anybody own two red-tail sharks?

[academyy_xx]

I bought two red-tail sharks over two weeks ago, (don't give me the lecture, the girl at the store failed to mention that one becomes very dominant) but I am wondering how your experience was. Mine so far haven't killed each other but I am.starting to notice that the bigger one has been nipped. I also have a green tiger barbs and a black banded leporinus in the tank so I'm not sure if it could be one of them that's doing the nipping.

I did. One killed the other before they were even 2inches long.

Do you know how they lasted together? Mine are just over 2 inches from head to tail.

How yours or mine lasted together? mine were juvies in a 55gallon. The one left is boss of the tank. He's in with 5 black skirts, a pictus catfish, a sengal bichir, a cae and a sae. Each fish has their own personality though

I did that when I first started out with my girlfriends tank and honestly I've had no problems. It's been nine months with no problems

What size tank is it?

I have 1 redtail shark and 2 rainbow sharks and the three of them chase each other around. No nipping had them for months.

I only have a 20 gallon now but I will be getting a 75 gallon by next year.

I think the male one is the one that does the nipping but i also have a black banded leporinus that could be nipping my shark.

Being able to keep two juvenile fish in the same tank for a number of months isn't a huge achievement. 2 inches is still a very young fish. I wouldn't risk it after seeing how my 4.5-5inch rts stands up to Africans larger than him and wins.

Would two 5in rts be considered juvenile?
