Hello;

We have a 250l community tank. Plenty of cover/plantings/hiding spots.
Would a RTBS be a good addition to the family?
Some Danio's, one Angelfish, one Burmese loach, four Cory's, three Blue Jay tetra's and yes......one Betta Splendens.
Any thoughts would be most welcome

My setup is similar and if you go with a small one, you should have no problems with that combination

Hi there,
I dont see why not. You have no conspecifics
related to the shark at all, so you should be ok.
Keep several large caves for the shark.

Also, on a side note, your blue jay tetras and corys and
burmese loach could all use some more friends, these
are all schooling species that prefer groups of 6 or more,
3 or more for the loach.

Thank-you both;

We now have a young RTBS.
All appears well after some initial shyness.
Hope it remains the case in the future

I'll post a tank photo soon.

Cheers
