red tail + ruby shark

[thlame]

hi i have owned a ruby shark for about 7 months now and hes a very nice fish hes fine in with my
kribs
chain loach
blue rams
and discus
in my juwel rio 300.
i have just been offered a red tail shark my tank has lots of hidey holes and is well planted is it a bad idea to keep them together.

[Mgamer20o0]

again i would say no because red tail sharks can become very aggressive

Yes it is a bad idea, you may find that you have problems with your ruby shark when it matures as well.
Also your loach should be in a shole of five or more.

I agree. RTS get quite aggresive and would harass the rams and discus badly.

ok thank you i think i will leave the red tail and a i have 6 very funny chain loach.

Good choice!

Even the ruby shark would probably be harassed as they are too similar in body shape...
