Hi All
I am going to have a 75 gallon tank in the next few weeks and have some stocking idea's for when the tank is cycled.
I want to have a active tank so am planning on having neon tetra's and zebra danio. My main question is this though, I want to have corydoras but really would like to have a red tail shark as well. I will have live plants and plenty of hiding places and driftwood.
I'm seeing from what i read that the RTBS can be aggressive and to be careful what fish to put them with, But i'm having trouble finding anywhere that actually names the fish they can co-exist with.
Does anyone have experience with the RTBS and corys? or any other suggestions. keeping in mind that like i said earlier, I want to have active fish.
Thank you
Stephen

in a 75 gal, you will be fine..just give the rtbs a cave or two to call his own

My own experience with RTS is that their best kept with larger fishes and have many hiding places.

in a 75 gal tank, theres plenty of space to keep them with cories .... theres actually alot of smaller fish in a 75 gal that they can live with...space is the issue with the red tails and rainbows...not size of fish

RTBS should be fine with the cory's. My Rainbow Shark and Cory's do very well together. No problems.

I keep Rainbow Shark with Rainbow fish (with Red-Salmon in one tank, with Lake Kutubu in another). I believe both (Raid Tail Black Shark and Rainbow Shark) tankmates requirements to be similar.

I have a RTS with Corys and they keep them selves to them selves, no fighting.

I think in a 75g with plenty of caves, as Shawnie said, everything would be fine.

Space and caves. A bigger fish would keep it in check.
