What should I do with my redtail shark?

RTS are psycho fish. one day they are fine the next they try to kill everything. just ditch it now before it starts giving you more problems.

I phoned the lfs today and they said they'd happily take both fish. Any ideas as for a peaceful fish i could replace them with - especially if there is a cichlid species that could work...

other bottom dwellers in the tank too - a weatherfish (4") and marbled syno (4")

Those guys aren't done growing yet (I think - others will correct me if I'm wrong). My first thought was more along the lines of finding a bigger tank for what you're planning to keep...

^^^^I originally thought this - however having done some research the weatherfish gets to around 4-5". It is the same genus as the weather loach, but a smaller and slimmer species. the marbled syno maxes out at about 5", and is not the most active fish in the world. I have made sure I have nothing over 6".
