Red Tailed Shark

[johnnywortho]

in my tank i currently have 11 tiger barb and 2 red tailed sharks, now i have abit of a problem with 1 of the sharks. He is always chasing the tigers around and they seem to stay to 1 side of the tank. now i knew that the red tailed sharks are territorial but i didnt realize it would be this bad. there is a few brave tigers in my tank that will occasionally swim up to the sharks neck of the woods but he just chases them back. now i cant really change any of my plants around to try and solve this situation so is there any other way this can be resolved. thanks

what size is your tank?
Also you shouldn't really have 2 sharks in one tank, sooner or later one will be killed.

my tank is 50 gal. the other shark is so peaceful tho, doesnnt bother any of the tigers he just potters about the tank. what do you think i should do to solve this problem?

Only 1 long term option i'm afraid and thats rehoming the aggressive shark,

Although another possible option you could is to try removing the shark, rearranging the decor in the tank and then doing a waterchange before reintroducing the shark to the tank, this way his territory will be lost and he should act less aggresive although there are no guarantees on how long it will last
