Baby Whales

[panther1505]

I just started up a 42 gallon high aquarium. I do have some fish in it right now. I was thinking about buying a Baby Whale or two.

Do Baby Whales fight amongst their own kind. I've read and have been told that Redtailed Sharks will fight members of their own species.

Are Baby Whales strictly carniverous? Or will they eat flake food?
I've read and been told both by different people and in different articles

Here's AC's profile for baby whales... I trust AC profiles, especially if I have 2 conflicting points of view, I come to AC and take whatever they have to say as the truth:

Cute fish!!! I think you could only have 1 though, because your tank isn't big enough for a "pod" which I assume is like a school...

Yes, red tailed black sharks (and rainbow sharks and black sharks) will all fight even one of their own kind in a tank...

Good luck!

Personally, I recommend staying away from baby whales. Despite shipment after shipment the poor creatures always seemed to waste away and die.
