Harlequin and red tailed black shark

Hi,
I was just wondering can harlequins and rtbs live together in a 180 litre tank

Thanks

Harlequin what? There are a few fish that get the name "Harlequin" based on their perceived patterns and colors. If rasbora, yes.

 

[fishyperson3010]

Rasbora

Tour rts will chase any bottom dwelling fish.

 

[fishyperson3010]

Yeah rasbora

Also could harlequin rasboras live with tiger barbs

I'm not 100% sure but I think the Shark and Tiger Barbs would be too aggressive for harlequin rasboras.

A tiger barb tank with harlie rasboras would work fine. It would probably work with an RTS as well, but to better your chances to avoid aggression troubles I'd suggest a rainbow shark instead. They look almost identical, but they have a bit more of a "community" attitude. JMO

Assuming you don't have either fish yet ... 180Liters is about 45 US Gallons which is too small for Red-Tail Sharks. Red-tail Sharks are territorially aggressive as they mature and need a minimum of 75gal .... IMO.

Harlequins Rasboras and TigerBarbs would be fine along with an RTS just ensure you set up territories for it to claim with Plants, DW and Caves.

ok thanks

 

[fishyperson3010]

what about a flying fox

A FF is too similarly shaped to be housed with the "sharks".

 

[fishyperson3010]

sorry i meant instead of the shark

 

[HN1]

That would work.
