Thanks heaps for the info, just took one back to the shop and the store owner appologised and said he would inform the young employee not to recomend selling Red Tail Sharks in pairs (or more) in the future... Ps. Feel better now as I was getting concerned for the poor little tacker getting abused.

oh bugger! guy in shop didnt say anything, Doh!

Just got myself a couple of red tailed black sharks today... this may be a silly question but in the shop, they were fine just cruising around etc. When I put them in the tank at home one keeps chasing the other one constantly. it does'nt seem to be biting or anything just chasing non stop. is this normal? or should I return one of the sharks?

thanks heaps I will wait it out awhile!!!

Howdy all, I am a complete noobie to auqauriams and have recently set up a new tank... We have 6 glow light tetras ( seem to love it in there) 4 bristle noses' and 2 red tail sharks, the Ph is neutral, temp is 25.8Deg, 3 assorted plants and I have cleaned the filters... I have had water in the tank now for 18 days. My problem is this ugly whiteish coulored slime accumulating on heaters and plasitc plant replica. Ps. is it possible to post pictures on this forum

Thanks heaps awesome response, gives me a great insight what to look forward too...

Howdy all, I am from Melbourne Oz... I am completely new to this hobby and was wondering if anyone could provide me with an essentials items list for begginers eg.. Ph Kit, glass scrubber etc... Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ps. I have a Aqua one AR-980 (empty..until I can understand require :roll: ments a little more.)
