Hi everyone i would like to introduce myself. My name is Nour and im a female. Im 17 and i live in windsor ontario canada and are currently going to highschool. I love fish i think they are gorgeous.

I have a question. I have a 5.5 gallon tropical tank. I have two guppies that just had babies, two cardinal tetras, one ground feeder and i was wondering if i can put a red tail black shark in there?

thank you

Your tank is a bit small to have a red tail shark in it.

Those guys can be very aggressive and need a bit of their own territory. They will work in community tanks, but I'd say 20G-plus tanks (just a quick off the top number...)

to the board.

devinf is right, the redtailed shark will get to big. They grow about 6" in the aquarium but can get to around 8" or 9", though not very common.
