	Anyone have any experience with a Red Tail Black Shark & a YoYo
Cmreds Fingerling Posts: 21 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Feb-2008	Edited by cmreds Hello All, I am considering the purchase of a Red Tail Black Shark in the future for a 40 gallon tank, but I am concerned that the shark may attack two adult YoYo loaches I have in the same tank. Does anyone have any experience with this combo or idea if this combo will work? Thanks, CM

And I have the 3 in a 150g tank with 2 yoyo's and in the 3 years they have been together. I have never had a problem with them living together. So I wouldnt think you would have a problem either Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

They must have a cave or an area they can call their own or you will have a problem with them. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Cmreds Fingerling Posts: 21 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Feb-2008	Thanks for the feedback. I have a decent sized cave in the tank already that should be perfect given that no one uses it now. I thought that the YoYo's might be okay due to the fact that they tend to boss my 4 adult Tiger Barbs around at feeding time. Keithgh - you wrote that the RTBS may get bossy around feeding time - what have you typically fed yours in the past? Thanks, CM
