Ok do you think it will be ok to put a 3 inch rainbow albino shark in a discus tank, as you cans see from my sig, i have 2 dicsus and 4.5 inchs :) and 2 keyholes, my rainbow shark is not aggressive in his smaller tank and i have never seen him attack any fish like my angels do, i think he needs to move to the larger tank soon tho, i plan on also moving my corys there too and im going to get 2 more discus in the future, do you think this will be ok?
 
He'll be fine, he'll keep to himself in a larger tank. If you have decorations, he probably be spending most of his time swimming around those.
 
Yay you 2 have made my day :)
 
Rainbow sharks are non-aggresive?
 
Most times they can do well in a wel suited environment. Of course, this is not fool-proof, if they are provided with the correct parameters (not cramped into a 15 gallon tank with 10 other fish) and given a cave for them to dwell, 9 times out of 10, they will be fine.... this doesn't say there aren't your buggers out there who start trouble, but most of them are just fine as long as there aren't any other Rainbow or RTB sharks or fish that may be shaped as they are (such as balas), they are fine.

So in a 75 with angels, neons, guppies, and cories one would be okay? How big do they get?
 
6 inches, and yes he will be fine, should be, he may chase the cories, depends how many you have n the size
 
I think one would be fine......I don't even think it'll chase the cories.... I never had a problem with mine and anything else in the tank which includes all that you've listed...... however, the neons and Angels might be questionable together.
 
I know about the issue with neon's and angels... my angels are little and most say that growing up around neon's it won't eat them when it gets big enough.
