The rainbow shark might kill some of your tiger barbs as well, since they (the sharks) can be so aggressive. As for your other question, I wouldn't keep either of the sharks with guppies. The guppies would probably become shark bait.  (Pardon the bad joke) |

| tinfoil Big Fish Posts: 438 Kudos: 252 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Feb-2003 | Funny, I don't know either of the sharks to be agressive towards "non-sharks". Especially rainbow sharks I know for their friendly nature. I kept an RTBS with 7 tigers in a 15 gal. for a few years and no one ever got hurt; they actually played hide and seek with each other ... |

| sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004 | Well, this site's profiles think otherwise. [link=Rainbow shark]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/rainbow.xm [link=Red tailed shark]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/redtail.xm You might be confusing rainbow sharks with bala sharks, as balas are very peaceful. Red tails differ by personality, just like certain cichlids and bettas, but I wouldn't keep them with guppies, and probably not tiger barbs, either. I'm sure a RTS would be all right with tigers, as they are tough fish, but I wouldn't risk it. |
