Ira Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Red tailed sharks will fight with everything once they get bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 the websites must be broken :lol: they do like chasing stuff. especially their own kind when they are older, and its only the odd few that don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr McFish Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 In my tank I have a rainbow and albino rainbow the normal rainbow is smaller and I find they dont bicker if the temp is a bit colder mines 22-24, a few caves so there not in constant visian , well fed and clean water. I personaly wouldnt get a red tail with an albino because the red tails can be nuts and the albino IMO is a bit weaker or dopier than the red tail and rainbow, hope this helps.

skaffen Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had one in the small, overstocked 80 l community tank that I inherited when I got started. It ruled the tank, but wasn't too bad. When I transferred the community to my 450 L tank, it started nipping anything that came into it's side of the tank. I tried putting it back into the 80 for a bit, and then reintroducing it once the other fish were established, but it just got more and more aggro. I donated it to the LFS in the end. Shame really, as they are beautiful fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32GOTMLK Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 both of my red tails are fine if they both say on their own sides of the tank lol if one crosses the line then its all on l :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr McFish Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 A friend of mine has a red tail with a golden algae eater and the red tail gets bulied. It seems to have a lot to do with the individual fish. How much plants have you got in the tank? because I find my albino is a bit scared of the bright light.

diver21 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 i think the red tail and the Chinese algie eater fighting is a common thing, i had the same thing with my two but it was more of an even match and no damage was done so i left them to it. all ive seen online is that the red tail is a good community fish aslong as there isnt another red tail or rainbow in there. and my red tails havnt botherd anyone except the CAE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
