Rainbow Shark Red tail Shark dancing fighting mating? part2

[Soreassbear]

I have 4 large rainbow sharks and 4 albino rainbow sharks in my 120 gallon, I've had them all for years,started in a 90 gallon with 5 rainbows and 4 albino only lost one and he was biggest I had ever saw, about 6"-7" long, check out my channel. also have had redtail sharks, in my luck you can have only one,and don't put them with rainbow sharks. however my brother has always maintained 4 redtails in his tank with out problems.

[AquariaCustomDesign]

they are definitely fighting. I have kept red and rainbow sharks for years. red tailed and rainbow sharks are pretty much the same fish, just slightly different species. I had 3 rainbows once from the pet store and only one remains... he killed the other 2 after about 3 months. red tailed sharks are slightly less aggressive but should still be careful when keeping more then one. NEVER keep them in schools! in nature they live in fast moving streams and are solitary fish.

[Antigravityskateshop]

what kind of eel is that!!!?? Please reply!

[Radicalxraiin]

30gallons per shark at tht size but they will get bigger then you need to seperate them. Or Just let them fight and whoever survives gets the tank lol.

[ice57cube]

doesn't look like they are fighting but they WILL! Only one Red tail/Rainbow per tank... I know its a 90G tank but still... I would separate them

[smcoyle87]

rootbeer is wrong. period. you need to do some research.

[KingsProduction50]

it's best to get more than 3 so they do not keep picking on each other or only get one. DO NOT PUT THEM WITH BLACK SKIRT TETRAS !

[xXBloodSightXx]

u have a very stressful tank not only to ur rainbow sharks/redtails, but ur other fish too... u a fuckin retart....

[23jayreeves]

i bought three wen they were tiny and now they r all huge

[chickenoncheese]

whats the music in background??? thx

[SYLABYS]

1 OR a school of 6 would be ideal for the R. Shark!

[espirates2]

I have only 2 and they are best buds, aggression depends on the individual fish not the species.

[battabates]

the turtle isnt in the as of last week cuz i want my tank to look nice now

and ill make a video of my tank to show use how they all go good together

[battabates]

swear to god use are losers ive had my rainbow sharks in the same tank for about a year and half with all different fish

silver sharks

guppies wild and fancy

tiger barbs ,moss barbs

loaches

and a turtle

although the turtle had eaten all the guppies the rest remaind and my rainbow sharks just play all the time oen of the sharks is twice the size of the others and just now tongiht they were mating as one was under the other with bellys touching swimmin slowly so rainbow can be together

[DPalms309]

You can have more than one if you get them at the same time, from the same store, in the same tank....just like how you can have multiple oscars in the same tank

[ThePumpkinthecat]

There not real sharks are they?

[kaleighfoley]

@ThePumpkinthecat They are a type of fish. Not a shark.

People name them shark because of their similar shape.

[skalarfreak]

you have to keep red tail sharks like clown loaches. not only one but 5-8.so they are able to distribute their agressions. you all have to do more research

[gazza3294]

they are actually fighting your only supposed to have one unless you have a monster tank for them to find grazing areas on the other sides of the tank, they will eventually exaust one another and die.

[bob40326541]

hey please take the time and look at my tank i will appreciate it /watch?v=cR40mGzrwVY  <-- copy i have a rainbow shark with danios and a pleco please support me

[B2K5000]

you shouldn't ever keep more than one rainbow shark together in a tank, they will kill each other. Which is also why you can't mate them in an aquarium.

[rootbeer2551]

the 2 top comments need to do some research

its a 90 gallon tank

30 gallons per shark

popcornweasel and ella do some research

then criticize

[HolySasquatchTurd]

@rootbeer2551 30 gallons per Shark in not a rule. If you want 2 Sharks, you need a 6 foot tank so they can establish their territories and they are still going to fight when they run into each other just not as much because of a bigger tank.

[LegoCVT]

@rootbeer2551 30 gallons per shark you crazy? thats a waste man it sounds nice but if u have a 90 gal and you get only 3 sharks waste. The gallon rule per fish is stupid like how dumb ppl that doesn't have fish tanks go to youtube and always comment, ohemgee 30 gallons per goldfish. Sure I'm sure you can afford a 90 gallon tank for some three fat goldfishes.

[needzpower2]

just like people and dogs some get bad reps. i have a betta that litterly doesnt do shit. had a betta two femal bettas and a pleco sat there and didnt move just floated by the top. now i have the bettas and pleco i now have five tetras (the blue shiney ones lol :))

three orange platy's and a red tailed shark in a ten gallon. living peicefully :) i know by the way that i should transfer the shark but hes brand new and i will when he starts beating the others up or grows larger.

[MrArmoredbutterfly1]

ive had 2 rainbow sharks for 3 years and never had them hert eachother craz little fuckers just play rough. convict texas and flowerhorn dont mind them ether

[titanic1990saging]

they are fighting, red-finned sharks are territorial.

[flamepeace]

I "think" you do NOT stay with this 2 species in the same aqua

[MrFunnyman304]

FUCK I HATE PETAS GET A FUCKING LIFE YOU TREE HUGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeovaecorney]

shut up popcorn i have two rainbow sharks and they don't fight its just the luck of the draw

[An3ggPlant1]

@jeovaecorney Maybe you should learn how to reply...

[105ert]

does anyone know if it is ok if i have 2 rainbow sharks 1 boy 1 girl in the same tank if it si a 20gal and 2 good hiding places?

[imported101]

So I recently picked up a couple fish at my local pet store. I picked up two rainbow sharks, and two bala sharks. I know, I know I didn't do my research first but I did ask the sales associate if they would be ok together and they said yes. So I took them home put them in the aquarium I had previously set up. Now as I've read up online and comments on here these are not great fish to put together. I came home today and one of my bala sharks is dead. So these two fish should not be together?

[An3ggPlant1]

@imported101 Ehh, first problem is your balas. They need to be in large groups because they're schooling fish. If the tank is big enough 120+ gallons, then they should stick to their own business. Besides, Bala Sharks grow up to 18" long, and need to be in a 120+ from the start.

[imported101]

@An3ggPlant1 Thank you for the info, they will be switched to a bigger tank.

[TheVisionXLII]

i had a red tail and a rainbow and they fought all the time until the red tail killed the rainbow

[TurboIX]

that is 1 redtail and 2 rainbow...The redtail will probably eventually kill those smaller rainbows..

I had a huge rainbow almost kill my l red tail a couple years ago...Now The Red tail is by himeslf with no other sharks...He's like 5.5" now. aggressive fish.

[Fishycichlids]

Look at 0 :24, hes got a parroon shark!

[Fishycichlids]

LOL! He has a paroon shark and 3 rainbows. Man hes going to learn his lesson when he falls into there.

[ryan99er]

they wont kill eachother, i have 3 in a tank before yeah they scrap everynow and again but dont kill eachother, had mine for years

[AirshipFilms]

Those skirt tetras are not amused...

[pmlive]

cool tank

[XxDarthPrimexX]

i see them do this at petco all the time lol

[ThePopcornWeasel]

your red tail sharks will kill each other you are only supposed to get one idiot

[ovejocke]

@ThePopcornWeasel I see 2 rainbow sharks and 1 red tail...

[3LD3VIL]

@ThePopcornWeasel i have 3 for 6 months and they never fight so not true

[MustanGT2003]

@ThePopcornWeasel i had 2 redtail sharks and one was dominant and the other would just hide, the little one never got injured just chased

[FckThWrld88]

@ThePopcornWeasel actually that is not true. if you get 1 -3 of them they will become enemies, nd the bigger one will kill off the younger one. but if you get a larger group like 6-8 of them, they are a lot more friendly with each other because they have more friends who will look after them!

[BudaPond101]

@ThePopcornWeasel not true, the 1 red tail black shark is just trying to show he is the boss around the sharks. rainbow sharks and red tailed black sharks dont get a long with each other. so since the red tail black shark is out numbered, it will try to show its dominance to the other fish and to the two rainbow sharks

[videogameleader123]

@ThePopcornWeasel no and yes the maxinum is 6 because then they will feel like there in there normal house and u could also keep 1 =)

[THABIGGESTWORM]

@ThePopcornWeasel YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THE ONE SHARK...IT LIKE PUTTING TWO MALE FIGHTING FISH TOGETHER..WHAT CAN YA DO..

[ChloeRaeWuzHere]

@ThePopcornWeasel We have 4 in ours.

[sammy222ize]

@ThePopcornWeasel u know he only has one red tailed right the other ones are rainbow .... idiot

[kwtblack2]

man sweet i love rainbow shark and i have 6 of them and i am trying to find red tail shark but you have a problem you have clown knife fish and Iridescent Shark which is no good because they grow up fast i used to have Iridescent Shark same size like this and after 3 month its has tall like my hand's tall size

[Dr8co1]

which ones are female? RT shark i mean

[kwtblack2]

@Dr8co1 that's male as i think and 2 other r rainbow shark , female is like grey stomach and bigger

[TheWEGC2010]

Michael7klufas6 is right. iIhad two in a ten gallon tank and they started to fight, which is what i was told might happen, so i put them in a 50 gallon with some other fish and they do fine now.

[Michael7klufas6]

its not good to have those sharks in the same size tank. RTS are loner sharks unless you have a big enough tank. there territorial range is 25 gallons. so if u have like a 55 gal ur good.

[superfishman123]

3 way fight lol

[TaylorWarhol]

Its fighting!

They head but eachother and bite on the snout,they dont like their own kind but it is better to have 3 rather than 2 ;-)

[egg766]

i think thats fighting.

[voku2006]

continued - it is possible as long as you keep conditions in the tank acceptable (no half arsed cleaning will be tolerated as it will lead to stress and aggression), dont keep to many smaller fish in the tank or if so introduce a rainbow/red tailed black shark at an early age to the other tank mates.

p.s. red tailed black sharks will grow 4-6 inches and are more aggressive, however same tank setup and other previously stated information applies.

[voku2006]

to all those who have question about rainbow/ruby sharks (have had 12 in my experience)

rainbow and red tailed black sharks should be kept separate and singly, they both require a minimum of a 3ft tank and will grow to 8-10 inches. if put with the right fish they can be quite peaceful among other species but will become territorial/aggressive as they grow and for those of you wanting to put smaller fish with these, continued on next post

[ripstickcamp]

can you put rainbow sharks with bala sharks

[gigglestick32]

heard you should only have 1 rainbow shark in a tank.

[JASSICSCLUB]

cool music

[TheAquariumKid]

u can never pet more than together at least if Ur tank is big enough and alot of hiding spots

[dominantgazelle]

those are a lot of bubbles

[JackieHuizar]

they fightiong rainbow sharks are semi agressive soo they must be fighting :)

[Tigerballer88]

My rainbow gets his ass kiked by my redtail

[tietie1424]

WOO GEARS OF WAR!! lol.

[THCmuzicalmasta]

if you still have all 3 in the same tank maybe your lfs will exchange these for something more suitable or give you a credit toward's something else!

maybe a pair of angel fish?

[finalman25]

why would are they called sharks when they rnt real sharks? gay they do the same thing with catfish it ruins the sharks good name

[Tigerballer88]

Fighting my do the same

[ochoanator123]

r tehy mating and how r they so dark

[Tigerballer88]

Yes those red tails rainbows and silvers will get along that's way I have

[Tigerballer88]

Boys have dleder bodies....I have a question how big were your gold fish that got eatin..my red tail is young my rainbow shark is older and a bit bigger he's dominate but I think my red tail will be dominAte when he matures

[mieroku]

my red tailed shark ate my 2 goldfish 0*

[ChaseSpeer]

Anyone know the gender differences with red tails? I have one thats a dark gray color and one that is a dark black and they seem to get along alright

[MrPkmaster99]

can silver sharks rainbow sharks and red tailed black sharks get along in a 150 gallon tank

[THCmuzicalmasta]

2 or more red tails will fight as you can see here, this is actually cruel for the fish! ....silver shark's can reach upto 18" long, altho pretty peacefull fish wont enjoy being chased by a red tail! LOL.. 3 silver sharks and 1 redtail, 1 rainbow and maybe a nice pleco.....silver sharks are best in groups of 3-4... 150 gal is a nice size aquarium m8 :)

[MrPkmaster99]

can a red tailed black sharks, rainbow sharks and silver sharks live together in a large 150 gallon tank?

[DKkrazy5]

red taild sharks and rainbow shakrs get along?

[merkak134]

where did u get the rock mountain thing at

[BigFatCheese100]

Also, the sharks fighting stresses out the other fish in the aquarium.

[BigFatCheese100]

You must have 1 shark per aquarium. Unless the aquarium is about 125 gallons or more. If you don't seperate them, then they will never stop fighting and it can be stressful to watch. As the sharks get older, they become even more aggressive and hostile.

[hihi100202]

yes! take out 2 of those! 1 per tank!

[ellaj31598]

ppl should reaserch fish before they buy them cuz they are killing them! :(

[THABIGGESTWORM]

@ellaj31598 100% CORRECT.

[pokemongenius777]

nice red tail and rainbows

they can all stand there own well.

my redtail is in a 125 gal with a rainbow and the raindow and redtail have their own space.

[kingmaxim187]

they are obviously fighting each other but they look healthy

[34charlie45]

my rainbow behaves himself cause hes kept with tough cichlids and semi aggressive barbs and large tetras. but today he is going in to my jack dempseys tank cause hes annoying my plecs so will he survive . hmmm.. i will find out.lol

[oakleys01]

did he survive ????

[34charlie45]

nope after about 2 days the blood parrots ripped his head clean off and the jack dempseys and oscars finished him off lol, ive got different fish now anyway.

[oakleys01]

lol ! now whos boss

[34charlie45]

im not sure if ur asking an actual question or not lol sorry but i cant tell..

[bigpleco]

yeah thats fighting, normally, you just put 1 in you're tank unless you have a really big one, over 400 l.these fish are really territorial and don't alow any other fish in theur territory.

[n03lzz]

They are fighting. And with the utmost probability, only one of them will survive in this tank.
