Question
Hi,
 I really need a quick answer!!! My friend has red-talied black shark and im worried my neon tetras and fruit tetras are going to get eaten!!! :/ I looked in my book and they said they should be big fish room mates for the shark.
Please help,
Reilly

Answer
Hi Reilly,

Please consider not getting this shark.

They will skin your tetra alive.  They are highly aggressive fish.  I often get complaints that they murdered a fish...please reconsider taking him off your friend's hands.

Happy fish-keeping.
