Congratulations... it appears as though you took exceptional care of your rainbow shark! I am sorry for your loss. I hope you have purchased a new rainbow shark.
That the fattest rainbow shark I've ever seen congrats if you got him that size your self and didn't just bye or aquire him that big in the 1st place .
@1stdanclaire i had a rainbow shark when i was 8. it was huge and fat ! it was one lazy and agressive fish ! it barely ever moved and it looked like it was dead because he was old ! one time my dad tought he was dead so he scooped him up with the net then he thrashed around ! when he really died, my dad thought he was just doing his regular thing sitting around. but he sat that way for 3 days and we found out he wasnt relaxing !
@aloyalblue1 not to sound like an ass, because i dont reply to sound that way, but these types of fish do that resting thing you talked about, they're from the carp/minnow family and carps are all fat and bone/cartilage, which is an answer to their laziness.
I have a hard time deciding which fish I like best between Rainbow Sharks, and Red-Tail Sharks... so, I have both types in my own 75 gallon tank (as wel as other types too). So far so good, some semi-aggressive actions between them, but mostly just chase/be chased vs. standoff situations. From time to time, they do scrap a little bit, but nobody gets hurt. Feeding time is when they engage in the most conflicts with others in the tank. Take a look, lot of very interesting items. Sub me too!
i have a 33 gallon tank with bala sharks and a relay large parrot fish and a mixture of other fairly decent sized tetra schools of a bought 5 ( 3 species and some weird mix )each and i was wondering if you knew if adding 2 possibly 4 of rainbow sharks would be a good idea or if i should use my 20 gallon living room tank instead for im not certain if these would be compatible / comfortable with my fish or should i use my extra tank for them?
@szadec2375 years ago I didn't research the compatability of fish, now I always do. Rainbow sharks are loners, will fight when they get older among themselves. I would put only one Rainbow in the 33 gallon tank you have. Twenty gallons is a good tank for smaller fish. Hope this has helped. Look on the internet for species that get along and what size they will grow to.
@ddp7028 10 gallon tank is way to small for a rainbow shark. Don't put a rainbow and a red tail together, they will fight for territory. Hope this helps:)
@ddp7028 No and no, put a rainbow or red tailed shark in a bigger tank. Maybe even 40 gallons + and do not put a rainbow and a red tailed together or any other of their own kind.
i had one of these but it was slightly longer and only its tail was red, it was the biggest and oldest fish i had, i had to keep it in its own tank in the end, it was 5 and a half years old and was maybe 3 inches long when we got it and was at least 2 feet when it died.
Can't put freshwater sharks with Cory catfish - they are bottom dwellers and will attack the corys for food - these sharks are scavengers more than anything else.
The betta will get nipped at by the shark - apple snails would be okay - 15 gallon is too small though.
@007gazster sure tiger barbs and cories with the Rainbow are a good combo. I don't know anything about the other tetras though. You will probably need a bigger tank eventually because Rainbows get to be 6 inches, I think 20 gallons might be too small for a full grown Rainbow, just my opinion:)
They are such a crazy fish. You gotta be careful what you put them with. They truly aren't afraid of anything. Except I once put one with an Oscar and you could tell shark was quite wary around that Oscar. Then when the Oscar left that tank, he claimed the tank his own lol. Typical behaviour of these fish. I've kept Rainbow and Red Tail sharks with a whole slough of different types of fish and it really does depend on the shark's tolerance and personality of who he likes and doesn't like.
@HolySasquatchTurd mine has no problem sharing her log with two african clawed frogs but if my kenyi cichlids or my johanni cichlid come near, she chases them away.. its funny but she only lets other fish into her territory if theyre sick, otherwise she chases them out
I know they are only fish, but god damn it does suck when they die. I just bought my rainbow shark a few weeks ago and loving him. They really are not that aggressive towards other fish, chases them out of his/her territory sometimes but that's about it. Have you bought a new shark since then?
@PurpleMonkeyWaffle Certainly, I have, angelfish, cory's, blue gourmai's, pleco, tetras, and a huge silver dollar. I've been a fish mom for 10 years now.
I have a rainbow fish, silver dollars, bala shark & all that in my tank & none of them fight so? haha. :D but idk, they could when I'm not around watching inside the tank, but other then that they seem to get along.
@jbieberfever4everbby Bala Sharks get along fine with them. I've never had a bottom dwelling shark harass a Bala before. I can say never put a Rainbow Shark (or Red Tail) with Kribensis, Cockatoo Cichlid, Siamese Algae Eater, Chinese Algae Eater, Blue Loach, Bolivian Rams, Blue Rams, Dwarf Gourami, Honey Gourami, most cichlids unless they are big and tough like Parrots and Oscars.
@HolySasquatchTurd my red tail doesn't really hurt her tank mates (2 kenyi cichlids under an inch and a johanni an inch long...) she defends her territory of course, but she only chases them out of her territory and no more. you can see them in my cichlids update just skip to the part with the actual fish haha
@12345zxcvbnmasdfghjk 1) They need a minimum tank size of 50 gallons. This is a must. 2) A mixed diet is best. I recommend frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, good quality flake, and algae wafers. These fish need algae/veggy wafers in their diet but not everyday. 3) Large water changes seem to really help them to grow faster. 4) 1 shark per tank is recommended as it's very hard to have them not fight one another.
@12345zxcvbnmasdfghjk I forgot to add - objects like rock and wood they need. They love plants too. They love caves as well. It's highly recommended for all of these.
im gettn a new aqaurium and etc in a day or so and ive mainly just had gold fish in my other fish tank, just wondering if these attack fish like that or do they cope with pretty much any fish in the tank and would be happy to hang around? thanks :D
@willnesssgt Rainbows are semi agressive, especially with their own kind, don't get a Rainbow and a Bala shark or a Red Tail shark, they will fight. Rainbows are good with barbs, loaches, gouramis and plecos. I research fish before I buy them now to see if they are compatiable. Happy fishkeeping!
@catchsurf1 Be patient with the rainbow, he will feel comfortable in his new surroundings and act normal. My new pleco did that last year, and now he is all over the tank. They are great fish.
@KingNeptune151 They are suppose to be semi aggressive, my rainbow wasn't too aggressive, sometimes more playful I'd say. I don't know anything about the upside down catfish. I had a channel catfish and my rainbow use to "groom" him.
i thought my rainbow shark was the coolest fish i had until fish started dissapearing (over a period of time) and then he attack my newt badly, his skin is all tore off and he was bleeding! so i chose to get rid of him after loosing around % fish and him attacking my newt! was a cool fish for a while... : (
I just got a Rainbow Shark for my community tank! His name is Finley. He does great with all of my fish. But does NOT like the female Betta he rode home in the pet store bag with. XD (yes, I do in fact keep female Bettas in my community tank...and yes some of my fish are Zebra Danios >.>)
I have a rainbow shark and an albino shark, I used to have 2 albino sharks but I think the rainbow shark killed one of them. He always seems to be chasing around the albino shark that is still alive and trying to bite him. When the other albino died it looked like he had his skin torn off on an area.
its so relaxing havin a an aquarium at home and i spent lotcha time watching my fishes in the tank1dyah thing your fish kinda lonely in here?hahahaha1
wow you had him for 7 years... i have two of them and a red tail shark. i am really trying to collect them. i need to get an albino and a blue white tail... cool fish.
@TheFightingwarrior I know two rainbows do not do well together, my first rainbow died last year, I posted that on the video. Thanks for the concern though:)
wow thats a nice fish! too bad mine is super aggressive. i had to remove him from my tank because he killed my black molly.. bastard lol.. when i went to check up on the tank the black molly was upside down and my rainbow shark was nipping its tail.. i guess it was a bad choice to put him with other smaller fish because he was soo big he could bully everyone.
@masamune702 Sorry about your molly, yes Rainbows are semi aggressive, but mine wasn't the norm. Now if I buy any fish I research to see if they are compatabile with what I have. Happy fish keeping!
@poemsforcreation yeah.. i need to do some research about fish. when i bought the rainbow shark, i asked the person at petsmart if it would get along with my other fish and they said yes.. i guess employees at petshops arent always right
NICE!! I've never heard of a rainbow shark before & then he's 7?! That seems really old for a fish? He's great! Is he friendly with you? Sorry if these are silly questions . . . I just don't know anything about them.
@JCVdude Rainbow and Red Tail sharks are so similar and he was 7 years old when he died suddenly last July. Wow, it's been a year already. He was kind of friendly with me, they are semi aggressive fish. He would chase his tank mates, but not hurt them. These aren't silly questions! Thank you for your interest.
@morenoaguileramex He was a great fish, Rainbows don't eat guppies, they are semi aggressive. He use to chase fish (I think he was more playing than anything else) but did not harm them. Hope you get one.
hello i have a pictus catfish in a 30g tank soon going to expand to 55g tank.would this live comfortably with him and what do you feed him and how big is the tank?
@hellopie4567 My tank is 75 gallons, Rainbow ate almost anything, I fed him flake food and shrimp pellets and algae wafers. I didn't have a pictus catfish, hopefully they will get along though!
i had an albino and i think it jumped out of its aquarium when i was asleep cus when i woke up it was laying dead outside of its tank, is it possible it did jump out?
@whiplash2343 I have read that all fish jump! I've had some jump and found them dead and also picked them up off the floor and put them back in the tank. Fish are sooo slippery!
I got mines yesterday and he was going whiled! he was trying to jump out of the tank and everything... but when i turned of the light of the aquarium he seemed to relax a little. he made the boat i have inside his home and he really likes it now. What is the size of ur tank? and im sooo sorry to hear that he passed away :(
Once he feels secure he will settle down and maybe the water is different then he is use to. My tank is 75 gallons, thank you for your sympathy. My Rainbow is missed!
omg hes so big compared yo mine i got mine 2 monthes ago and hes skinny!!!!! well he eats good , his tank mates are peacock eel, dragon goby, silver barb, red barb, cory catfish (cleaning) , and pleco.
I bought one yesterday. When I walked by Erik at the pet store I was attracted to his brilliant colours. The only bad thing is that he has only one eye. His right eye is missing. I still love him though. That is what makes Erik so unique!
Is it hard to keep fish? He was pretty. Do they need a lot of care?

wow thats a nice fish! too bad mine is super aggressive. i had to remove him from my tank because he killed my black molly.. bastard lol.. when i went to check up on the tank the black molly was upside down and my rainbow shark was nipping its tail.. i guess it was a bad choice to put him with other smaller fish because he was soo big he could bully everyone.
masamune702 1 year ago
@masamune702 Sorry about your molly, yes Rainbows are semi aggressive, but mine wasn't the norm. Now if I buy any fish I research to see if they are compatabile with what I have. Happy fish keeping!
poemsforcreation 1 year ago
@poemsforcreation yeah.. i need to do some research about fish. when i bought the rainbow shark, i asked the person at petsmart if it would get along with my other fish and they said yes.. i guess employees at petshops arent always right

NICE!! I've never heard of a rainbow shark before & then he's 7?! That seems really old for a fish? He's great! Is he friendly with you? Sorry if these are silly questions . . . I just don't know anything about them.
JCVdude 1 year ago
@JCVdude Rainbow and Red Tail sharks are so similar and he was 7 years old when he died suddenly last July. Wow, it's been a year already. He was kind of friendly with me, they are semi aggressive fish. He would chase his tank mates, but not hurt them. These aren't silly questions! Thank you for your interest.

That is a nice shark, sorry for your loss does a rainbow shark eat guppies, and do they bother fish?
morenoaguileramex 1 year ago
@morenoaguileramex He was a great fish, Rainbows don't eat guppies, they are semi aggressive. He use to chase fish (I think he was more playing than anything else) but did not harm them. Hope you get one.

Im sorry for sudden death but he lived a good life.

i had an albino and i think it jumped out of its aquarium when i was asleep cus when i woke up it was laying dead outside of its tank, is it possible it did jump out?
whiplash2343 1 year ago
@whiplash2343 I have read that all fish jump! I've had some jump and found them dead and also picked them up off the floor and put them back in the tank. Fish are sooo slippery!

knightyct 2 years ago
I bought one yesterday. When I walked by Erik at the pet store I was attracted to his brilliant colours. The only bad thing is that he has only one eye. His right eye is missing. I still love him though. That is what makes Erik so unique!
