Glad you have it in the right sized tank, as many think they can put them in small tanks, no they have to be kept on there own I think.

That helps but the only thing i need now is a pic of the female and male can't tell if the fish has a heavier body or not.

It is either best to have 1 RTBS or several,
some (not all) RTBS will attack / chase any shark species (Ie Rainbow shark)

If you have 2 the srongest one will hound the weakest. 3 together may also cause a problem.

4 or more is good (obviously you need a biggish tank ) As they dont tend to single each other out.

My son had two in his tank & the larger of the two bullied the other. Although the bully was removed from the tank some time ago the one remaining still shies away from all the other fish.
