[GSD]

sorry guys for another topic but i have another problem

i rescued a little ruby shark(most of you have seen the pics)and was planning on putting him in the 200gallon,but i already have a huge one in there who bullied him and i havd to take him out and put him in the 20gallon.he is constantly attacking the tiger barbs who are also rescues and there tails etc are becoming ripped.He then shredded my guppies tail,what shall i do with him.i have nowhere else to put him exept a 44gallon coldwater.

They can be a nightmare I know just what you mean as my ruby shark wouldn't settle until, luckily I had a tank with corys, BNs and african cichlids. If you have nowhere suitable you may have to rehome the shark.

One possibility (assuming there is a load of different hiding places in the 200 gallon) is to buy 3 more and house all 5 in the 200 so as to minimise aggression against one fish.

It may not work, so be careful if you try it.
