Just A Question About Roseline Shark

[JamesH]

Im very new to enthusiast aquariums. Ive always kept fish but now its more of a hobby. Do you think adding 6 roseline sharks into a 115 gallon tank would be wise w/ the fish I have? Please check sig

your sig says,

115 Gallon tal
l6x Pristella Tetra
6x Blood Fin Tetra
3x Cardinal Tetra
3x Rummy Nose Tetra
3x Angel Fish (Captive Breed)
1x Powder Bllue Gourami
1x Plecotomus
1x Blue Catfish (moving to big tank soon)

going by the 1 inch 1 gallon rule, it'd be quite overstocked with your sharks. they will get up to 6 inches.

there is a typo.. I have 6 Pristella. by my math the size would be fine. Even @ max size Right now I only have 55-60 inches of fish, adding 36" more would take me up to 96 " , as I said I'm moving the blue catfish soon.

My question more specifically was.. would they be ok w/ the other fish? I'm learning through reading about compatibility issues, such as my 3 angels and my tetras

so how are they ? I hear they are one of the best tropical fish you can get color and shoaling wise?

Perfectly fine, as long as the tank isn't brand new, you don't need to stick to the 1" per gallon rule anyway, obviously just stock within reason .

The roseline sharks would make a very good addition to your tank compatibility wise, and would look stunning.

IMO they are amazing fish, the price of them is the only thing that puts me off .

Only thing I'm unsure about is you blue catfish, what species is this? If it's fine with the other fish it will be fine with the roselines, but in the future this could change. It doesnt matter much since you say your moving it anyway tough .

I agree with three fingers. They should be compatible with everything, but you may want to watch them around your angels for the first few weeks because they might try to nip the fins.
