Sorry red tail shark

im not sure if red tails are territorial but id really just give it a huge tank with the cories since they are all bottom dwellers i think
because red tails might nip cories

Redtail and rainbow sharks are territorial when mature. However, a single fish in a decent size tank with lots of hiding places should ignore the Corydoras for the most part.

In general, Redtail sharks will leave the cory's alone. Redtail and rainbow sharks are from the same group of fish as the barbs, so tend to leave fish from other species alone.

If you get a red tail 'shark', just be aware that it will determine every other fish you can get. It wants to be the boss, and the absolute center of the tank. If it isn't your favourite fish, you might want to give it a pass.

They also grow big 6 inches plus

Agree with some of above. Main issue is the tank is too small for a Red Tail Shark, and small spaces (to the fish) usually means increased aggression and this will or can get nasty.
