Anyone reckon I could let the Black Shark out before bed and just see what happens? Of just leave it all as it is? He looks sad trapped in a bag now that he's been living in there for a good 3 months!

I just did a compatability check here http://www.timstropicals.com/Compatibility/MatchResults.asp for Bala Sharks and Red Tailed Sharks and it says they ARE compatible. I think mine's just MEAN!!
There are always exceptions to fish personalities.
Also, its very difficult to write a definite rule about fish personalities.

I'm such a saddo. I got up EARLY cos I was worried about me Black Shark! Well he survived the night in the bag, I released him back into the tank and the little tinker proceeded to attack the poor Silvers again! So those 2 are now in a bucket of tank water, with a themometer in and waiting for the Fish Shop to open. Hopefully it wasn't all to stressfull for them and they can go back. Now I've 12 quids worth of fish to replace. Any suggestions? I have 9 male Guppies, 4 Mountain Minnows, 2 Pearl Gouramis, 4 Pristella (X-Ray) Tetras, 1 Suckermouth Catfish, 1 Red Tailed Black Shark, 3 African Dwarf Frogs, 70 Litre Tank.
Thanks for all ya help too!

I'm glad everyone made it through the nite!
How about more of the pristellas tetras? Get another 6 and you'd have a really nice school!! Or get 1 more pristella and 5 of a different tetra?
Let's see, you're in england right, so it's already 5pm over there... and I assume you've gone to the lfs already...
Let us know what you ended up doing!!

Probably too late but I would have added more fish to the schooling fish. A few more white clouds and more tetras.
It was good to take those balas back. A 70 litre tank just wouldn't have cut it.

Howdy, there was NO DEATH, everyone made it! I ended up getting 2 more tetras (cant remember what type but the female has a brown tinge and the male blue and they are slightly bigger than the Pristella Tetras), 2 Kissing Gourami and 2 Variated (?) Platys who look lovely!! The Black Shark went mad showing everyone who's boss when i put them in but now he's calmed down and everyone seems to be getting on hunky dory.
Only thing is the male Guppies seem to think the new Platys are female Guppies and are doing that thing where they float in front of them and display and/or release sperm (is that what they are doing?Anyone put me right?) DUHHH!

I know JUST what those male guppies are doing... don't worry about it - as far as I know, male guppies can't impregnate platies (OR CAN THEY??)... but yeah, when we used to have guppies, my husband would call that the guppy's booty call...
I'm glad everyone made it through the night and that the lfs didn't give you any flak for exchanging!
