Hi, i'm going to be adding some new fish to my tank and i was wondering if anyone knows if i can keep a rainbow shark with 1) cherry shrimp 2) a Hillstream loach 3) 2 yo-yo loachesm, the shark is big no one gets in his way .
Any bottom feeders or any other sharks will not go well with him. Make sure your tank is established and any other territorial fish have found their place, or he will claim your whole tank. Since mine is still young and small im not sure on this, but everything ive read says once they get to size they will bully anything not around the same size as them.
Mine stays in a tree stump, comes out to feed and goes back in hiding.He looks cool and predatorial, but i wanr other bottom fish also.Tough choice, he keeps my bottom spotless ,but will he pick at the HS loach and shrimp ?
The shark is free for the taking. How many more yo-yos ? I'm going to be on the full side.I'll be removing some (6) but putting 15 in, well i've been on low stock tho .I.m calling my guy tomarrow to add the shrimp so hope to hear back from u.
I'd get a red-tailed shark if i were u, they don't need as much room, and are more mellow. They are also very pretty!
