Rainbow shark compatibilty

[MikefromNH]

Im pretty shocked that your 2 sharks arent fighting at all, thats very unlickly...

I also have a 36 bowfront with 2 tri-colors and there's no problem there either. Must be the NH water......granite filtered, crisp, pure and refreshing.

Seriously though, no probs.

Tri-colors don't fight they are actually a schooling fish. Other common names for the Tri-color are Silver and Bala Shark.

BobDole, you cannot put two sharks in the same tank even if they are a different species. They will still fight constantly. Keep in mind that your 30g is going to be barely adequate for an adult Rainbow, they can push 10".

I have never heard of a rainbow getting past 6'' in an aquarium.It can be done I have two red tails in an 80 gallon both 4'' if you give them enough space they will be fine. Or if you have six or more in a large tank.( never tried this though). 30 gallons id say is fine for a rainbow, and i wouldn't stick another shark into a tank that size.
