I have an aquarium that I just set up, I have 1 bala shark, 1 black fin shark, and 2 rainbow sharks. Overall everything is going well and for the most part they get along well. One of the rainbow sharks has been chasing the other one since they got in the tank, and its been about a week now. Is this normal and okay behavior or is this something I should be concerned with? He doesnt chase any of the other fish in the tank just the other kind like himself. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Yes it's normal and something you should be concerned over. Rainbow sharks are quite territorial and this behavior won't stop as long as there are two or more in a single tank. The only way to stop it is by removing one of the rainbows.
I hope you have a huge tank or plan on swapping fish at the fish store from time to time. All of the fish you mentioned get quite large.

Get that bala shark out of there, unless you have a massive tank, a foot long shark will kick the **** out of your other fish eventually. The rainbow sharks need to be in larger groups in order to get along, they get territorial very easily.

Yes it is normal but bala sharks get large. I hope your tank is large enough to hold all of those fish when they are ful sized.
