Rainbow fin sharks
- Thread starter nobody
- Start date
Mine is only aggressive towards my false SAE and then only at feeding time.Lives quite happily with the Guppies and the Cardinal Tetras although they do stear well clear.The two Amano Shrimp I have are the boldest with him often going right upto its nose while foraging about.
All in all I'd say aslong as you don't have any other fish with the same body shape and feeding habits you'll be fine with one.I couldn't say what they'd get along like if there was more than one though.

That's quite a combination. You do realise the "sharks" will need increased salinity as they age? The glass fish tend towards brackish as well, tho some keep them in fresh. The balas and sharks are going to need a larger tank eventually as will the plecs unless they're one of the smaller pleco species. The cory would do better in a school. You'd be better off to sort out the fish currently in the tank and go from there before adding a semi-aggressive troublemaker to the bottom.
I'd agree with Seleya. You, guys have a tricky combination already an rainbow shark will do no good.
My beloved rainbow shark lived very well in my nicely planted 29g tank in peaceful laid back tropical community until i had to move him temporarily into another tank where he did not like, raised up the glass wall, crawled out and fell onto the carpet and dried up
Overall, i think they are great but so is almost every fish we do not own

We were told about the silver tips needing salt. So we actually have added a bit of salt to this system (and mine), so that's no problem. The Cory did have some buddies, but they have died of old age and we keep thinking he's going to die soon too. Also like I said, my Dad's not sure on the rainbow sharks because he had some redtailed sharks for a while and he's kind of tired of aggresive fish. Thus I've been trying to find out information for him. He's also thought about a bigger tank. Thanks guys for your help. I'll let him know.
