Welcome to Fish Lore
I moved your questions to a thread of it's own.

To start a new thread navigate to the forum that best suits your question and click new thread (found at the top on the left)

I don't know that much about rainbow sharks except they don't get along well with other rainbow sharks, smaller fish or red tail sharks.
They do best in a 55g tank so it's possible your tank isn't big enough for him since they're territorial.

Hi and welcome,

As Lucy said your Rainbow shark really needs a 55gal tank and yours is about 33galons, they are also a very agressive fish and will attack any other fish that goes into 'HIS' territory.

As he is in a smaller tank he will likely believe that the whole of the tank is his.

There really is no solution to the problem other than to get a larger tank for him or talk to your local fish store and see if they will trade him in for some other fish, or fishes that will fit in with the rest of the fish in your tank.

You also seem to have a Clown Loach in your tank, this is also going to cause you problems as he will grow to 12" and you really should have more than 1 as they like to be in groups to be happy so again your 30gal is too small.

The rest of the fish look like a nice community though, but i am not sure what the last item on your list is 'Small Pleat'? can you give a bit more information on that one?
