Rainbow shark question

[jessa10]

Can I keep a rainbow shark in a 15 gallon long tank with 7 tiger barbs? Thanks.

No.

no,its way too small of a tank(rainbow sharks can get 6 inches)and the tiger barbs would pick at him constantly.

Nope. I have a 4 inch Rainbow Shark 50G tank and personally I think that is the perfect size tank for this species. Any smaller and aggression becomes an issue because basically they are uncomfortable/unhappy. He was in my 20G when he was much smaller and he was a just plain menace. I don't think there is any type of shark you could put into a 15G (correct me if I'm wrong).

yea sharks need more room. i think 50 gal is a good size for them. the ones i have had are very active.
