Red Tailed Black Shark Bully

[conley58]

i have 5 juli corys, 2 clown loaches and a RTBS in a 30gl heavily planted tank. i have just purchased 6 serpae tetra and the RTBS is going out its way to chase and bully them, will this behaviour continue? it has never bothered the cory's and even shares its cave with the clown loaches

your responses are very greatful!!

He's showing them who's boss.

RTBS are very teratoral and anything new he'll not like.
this will subside though in a day or two.

That tank is way to small for clown loaches and he will turn into a bully the red tailed shark as there not much room for him with the clown loaches.
I would take the clown loaches back need a 90gal tank.
The red tailed shark really need a 40gal tank.
