retailed black shark with sids?

Post by kimura » Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:59 pm

i adopted a 2 inch RTBS and cant decide which tank to put him in. its either the 75 gallon heavily planted with 15 sids and 12 odessa barbs along with a few oddballs or the 240 "loach tank". i have 6 balas and 2 true flying foxes in the 240 so im not so sure how that would work. i know they can be territorial towards other sharks. my flying foxes clash sometimes but the tank is so big its rarely a problem. i just dont want him harassing my sids in the 75 since that tank is for them. most web comments gave mixed reviews. most people said some are meaner than others and you never know. any advice or personal exp?

thanks

I certainly wouldnt put it with the flying foxes, that is just trouble waiting to happen. I have a Ruby Shark in with Rotrata's, Kubotai's and Dario's and they never bother each other, I guess all you can do is see what happens. Personally I wouldnt give tank space to a Redtail black because you just know it is going to kick off at some point.
