I Just Bought 2 blue gourmais and 2 red tail sharks. Will they be compatible?

Question

They seem fine right now. The sharks only bother themselves and the gourmais do their own thing, but when they are older will they become hostile?...Also another question. What do red tail sharks eat? I gave them tropical flakes and the gourmais only eat it. The sharks just pass by it.

Answer 1

The biggest problem you will have is the two sharks. Those guys are territorial and will fight until one is dead. There shouldn't be any problems between the sharks and the gourami, they will tend to stay out of each others way.

Try feeding a sinking pellet for bottom fish like redtail sharks.

Answer 2

Red-Tailed Sharks fight amongst themselves and therefore should only be kept by themselves. They shouldn't have a problem with the gouramis.

They'll eat sinking shrimp pellets.

Answer 3

you may't placed africans in with those adult males, they'll injury them. you do not have an entire college to your silver funds, you should get a minimum of three-4 extra. And get another tropical fish. Cichlids, exceptionally africans who like elementary water, heavily isn't a stable mixture to your modern mixture.

Answer 4

You bought fish before considering if their compatible or finding out what they eat? Why didn't you ask the person at the pet shop? I'm sure they could have helped you with that.

Answer 5

If you plan on keeping them until adulthood, you should have them in at least a 20 gallon tank. They will get along fine. If you plan to add other fish as you go, you should invest in a 45 or 55 gallon tank, or larger if desired.
