Rainbow Sharks

[Awol]

I have 2 rainbow sharks and 1 is bigger than the other and never gives the smaller 1 piece its chases it all day is this normal

Yes. Rainbow Sharks and Red tailed Sharks are intolerable of their own kind or of anything that looks like them. Remove the little one form the tank.

 

[b.c.f.c]

yes i would rehome the little one as quick as possible as the bigger more dominant 1 will end up killing it

how big is the tank and what size are the fish. Rainbows are know to be very teritoritial to thier own kind but they seem to do good in a large group of like 5-8 but that is probably out of the question....... the dominant one will devlop darker colors and therefor will be easier to recignize for future reference.

yeah the tanks only 18 gallons so 5 or 8 is out of the question so ill get rid of the smaller one



the big is getter darker and more red to its fins
