Many people actually don't set up this type of community as not really a popular setup but many of these fish are actually being mix with other fish in a community tank.

So here is a video of my expermental 39g planted tank with some labeoniaes in it. I'm still new to plants so my aquascaping skills is not yet the best. Still learning and still need some tips and advises. If this expermental 39g planted becomes a success. I'm turning my 180g and 120g with heavily plants setup.

I actually have co2 injection too. Just a DIY Co2 reactor made from 2x 2L coke bottles. Once this experment is a success, I'm gonna invest on some co2 cylinder tank for my 120g and 180g.

You will for sure need pressurized on your larger tanks. The hard part will be getting it dissolved and distribution.

Good luck with the red tailed sharks together. Those guys are troublemakers lol.

Neat idea - The black shark alone, should have a 300 gallon tank at some point, and be prepared for it to potentially go on a rampage killing everything else.
In the meantime, enjoy :)

They are trouble makers but not as trouble maker as the purple shark and black shark. It's one of the reason why I have 6 redtail black sharks as any less than that I might have some problem.

The black shark is temporary in this tank as it's too small to go to my 315g. I already have 4 black sharks in that tank. 14-20".
