Would it be okay to add this fish?

Question

I want to add a red finned black shark to my community tank of:

*7 white cloud mountain minnows

*4 tiger barbs

*2 ghost shrimp

*4 glass catfish

*2 suckermouth catfish

*7 neon tetras

would it be okay

my tank is 90 gallons

Answer 1

That would be a proceed with caution, you have 8 bottom feeders and that's where territorial red finned sharks spend their time.

There's no problem with barbs, minnows and tetra and the tank is a very good size, but you could have problems at feeding times.

Personally I wouldn't risk it, but it might well work.

Answer 2

Black sharks can be aggressive I would worry about it eating the ghost shrimp, Lots of fish that are bottom dwellers, proceed with caution if you really want the shark.  

Answer 3

Do Not Add the RTB or a Rainow Shark to your tank.

Answer 4

Well, some times tiger barbs actually nip eyes and fins. If yours don't that is wonderful and I will be happy for you.  Every thing else you have is very peaceful.  There are TWO red finned black sharks and one has an albino version.

The RAINBOW shark: black with every fin red. (This fish has an albino version and is often found picking at other fish as tiger barbs often do. They very often fight with each other also.)

The RED-TAILED shark: all black including every fin but the tail (they fight each other but generally leave other fish alone..at least when small)
