Time to take a fish back

[Loopyness]

well, for the first time ever, im having to take a fish back, my red tail shark is going back, he's too aggresive for my tank, and any fish that has a go at my betta, has to go! Does anyone have any suggestions about what to get in replacement??? thanks!!

Looks like a pretty full tank already to me.

Seriously!!! You've almost got as many fish as I do in my 55 gallon tank! I've got 2 red tailed black sharks, and they're fine in my community tank, occasionally going after each other right after I feed them because they're both out. But they leave the other fish alone, not so much as a glance at them. I imagine the problem is space. They're very territorial, so they need a little space they can call home.

Hi Loopyness

They're right, you know.

Your clown loaches will soon outgrow your tank or become stunted, instead. If you are planning to get a big enough tank to accommodate them, why not do it now?

You may also find, at some point, that these crowded condition will leads to other conflicts among your fish. For example, the betta and gourami are sharing the same limited territory and both tend to be protective of if.

I know what it's like to want more fish than you have room for, believe me! That's how ended up with 10 tanks going and another being set up sometime this week.
