Is this 30 liters or 30 gallons long? Both are still too small for a black shark. Black sharks can reach 24 inches and they are powerful aggressive species that should not be kept in a community tank.

What size is your big tank? I find it impossible your fish is under an inch. Those can still grow and as I mentioned earlier, don't even mix it in a community tank. So your tank is in liters? That's actually too small for all those fish you bought except for the betta.

Black Sharks aren't all that aggressive, powerful yes, but they can be put into a tank with other fish, as I've seen them in with loaches and tetras at my lfs. But there are supposedly two different breeds of Black Shark, one of which is more aggressive and can develop gold on it's tail as it gets older and gets larger.
