They aren't aggressive, but very active. Mine shoaled with my espei fairly often, but they never really did anything that seemed to bother the other fish

I know, I know, I'm lagging on the photos. I actually forgot to post them last night, i had the camera connected and everything.
I finished mixing up my ferts and added some hairgrass(a tiny, tiny bit), two Cryptocoryne crispatula(to see if I like that or the mystery plant better), and added some floss to my filter. The tank is cycling with dead shrimp(lol) and media from my other tank. With the media from my other tank and the plants, I expect everything to be dandy by next wednesday.
Here's a question: Red tail black sharks(well, actually one), do y'all think one would harass my sids?

hhhMmm.... after reading just a tad more on them, I think it's probably safe to say that the red tail black shark would probably harass the sids too much. I'll find a cool centerpiece fish sooner or later...
I wouldn't house sids with RTS, they'd get beat pretty easily if there were any run-ins...which is bound to happen when mixing RTS and other bototm dwellers.
Thats a great looking tank book, but I wonder if your redtail not bothering his tankmates is because he also has lotsa fish his size(or similar) in there. I'm not sure I want to risk it at this point... here is a quickie photo before I went car shopping.
The plants aren't final, and most of the hardscape is not in either. Wood courtesy of mgamer is on the way, and I am currently hunting for more plants. The rotala will definitely be trimmed before the tank is considered "good to go."

TBH thats exactly what I was thinking. Lots of other distractions in that tank (which looks amazing btw)
Red tailed sharks get more aggressive the older and bigger they get. I have heard reports of RTSs killing every other fish in the tank.
