QuestionHi, I was wondering what other fish are compatible with a redtail. I'm setting up a 10 gal. tank, and would like to have one, but I'm not entirely sure if it'll be too large or aggressive with other small fish.
Thanks,
Eamon
AnswerHello Eamon,
If you only have a ten gallon tank, it would be best not to get the red tail shark. If I remember correctly they grow anywhere from 4 to 6 inches, and you won't have enough room to fit any other semi-aggressive in there.
You best bet would be to go with some smaller ones, such as the tiger barbs and maybe a loach.
If you're willing to go community, you'll have a much larger selection, or if you get a bigger tank you can do the semi-aggressive much easier.
