Rainbow Shark + Red Tail Shark

[Redearsunfish]

They will fight and fight hard most likely.

id say there is a SMALL chance becuase he's in a chichild tank but still small chance. if you have another tank id say try it.

Probably a good thing I asked first then. Regardless I need to move the rainbow somewhere though

 

[charles-n-charge]

If everyone thinks there is a chance that it'll work then I'll throw him in there. and if things dont work then I'll throw him in the 35 grow-out

I say just put it in the 35, I say there's only like a 10% chance that it'll work.

 

[charles-n-charge]

Alright it's in the 35 now. I may try to add it to the 55 with a tank divider and see how they react to the sight of each other to determine if I'll try putting them together or not. But that'll be later.
I never move a fish more than once in a day

I wouldn't do it. All the chasing will stress the other fish out. This could trigger an ich outbreak and who needs that aggravation.

 

[charles-n-charge]

Got a point.
I may try someday when the 220 is ready for them though

 

[syddakyd]

dont. i do recommend skunk loaches as tankmates with mbuna and either shark. you can do a group and they are nasty. all 3 types will battle but not kill or harass one another. its a crazy mix and i might do it again in my 125

I had a 6" red tail and 4" rainbow together and they were fine, they were in a 300g though so as others have said they would probably fight.
