Rainbow Sharks

Question
hi Karen thanks for the advice about my angel her face grew back. But about a week ago I purchased a black rainbow shark and a albino 1. and as soon as i put them in they started chasing each other around and i was wondering if it is was a breeding thing.

Answer
Hi Jared, I'm glad to hear about your angel's recovery!

Unfortunately the chasing will likely continue with the sharks because these fish are savagely territorial to one another and keeping more than one per tank is a risk and usually unsuccessful unless you have a very large tank and plenty of hiding places for the two to stake out their own territories.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Best wishes!
Karen~
