How you managed to say that all in one breath il never know.

Anyway, with the gouramis. This toatally depends on the sp.. If you have dwarf gouramis, they may well be eaten. If you have Giant gouramis, they need a much bigger tank, but will get on ok.

is it just a black shark or is it a red tail black shark

 

[Fizban]

its a black shark they grew to about 2 foot i think ....the red tail black shark are alot smaller when at full size i think i could be wrong there cuz i have not looked in to the red tail black shark much cuz i dont have one ...oh and im now going to put a Jack Dempsey with shark cuz i herd it should be okay and i think it would look nice thanks every one for the info

 

[Dark Shark]

ok i sorry i can't help cuz i got a red tail and gouramis and there fine the only other thing i could say would be to make sure the shark well fed

 

[Fizban]

hehehe as he gets bigger i am needing to feed him more and spend most cash on him and im going to have to get him a new cave cuz when he was small i got a ruther small cave now his head is sticking out one end and his tail the other i am glad i will be geting a new tank soon so i can put some thing realy big for him to hide in cuz if this keeps up he will get stuck one of my friends fish got stuck in a pipe it was hard to get out the fish lived it was lucky oh and it was a typ big fish as well ..........................oh and the red tail black shark is a realy nice looking fish to have if i did not get the black fish from a friend for free i may have got one but now i wont cuz the black shark gets aggressive to fish that look like the same typ of fish

More than likely if you give it time the black shark is going to terrorise anything and everything you keep it with.....
They are quite simply EVIL

I think black sharks are better suited with large cichlids. Ive got mine with a full grown red devil, a jack, a lerperinus and a bunch of africans.

2 points. We are not talking about a Red Tailed Black Shark, (RTBS), which is a very different, and MUCH smaller fish. Second, writing in UPPER CASE IS CONSIDERED TO BE SHOUTING and so you probably don't want to do that.

Evil but cool

Yes, very 'cool'....

but risking the lives of your gouramis, isn't.

 

[Gankutsuou]

if these are full sized Gouramis, the HUGE ones, like the real ones..... I dont; see a problem other than the tank being too small eventually for your kitty cat fish.
