mickey-tropical-fish-mad Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have kept a red tailed black shark I had a quick look at my fish book and they grow up to 20ins in lenth very quickly I also read in my book that they are one of the only to peacful sharks for a tropical tank! So they dont bully and arnt aggressive. They just grow very big very fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Black sharks grow to over 600mm long, I have seen it so I know it's true. While cleaning the sharks tank, the owner put it into a 2 footer and it had it's tail curvrd to fit. Unfortunately it didn't like it's cramped overnight quarters and jumped thru the lid to die a slow death on the lounge floor. Hope you have a big tank for when it grows up. This is another fish that IMHO should not be imported due to it's size, as most ppl when they buy them at 75 to 100mm long do not realize their potential.
