So i just wanted to know..is it possible to have 1 redtail shark or 1 rainbow shark with the tiger barbs,pleco,hoplo catfish and a elephantnose?

There is a chance that both the 'nose and the shark will ignore each other in a 70 gal tank, but I wouldn't bet on it. So ideally, you can have one or the other, not both.
