Ruby Shark

Would you say these are as Aggressive as their cousin the Red Tailed Black Shark? Or are they different...

We were looking at getting one a couple of years ago and I remember reading that they are less aggressive and more easy going.

I see no difference, I've had both and they were the same.

So really, does it depend what fish they are with as to how aggressive they are? If they're with fish they have to stick up against they are aggressive, if they're with Peaceful fish they are peaceful?

Im not sure on that, I had a molly in with my firemouths (bad I know) it got picked on, but now its rather aggressive and chases them away, moved it in the oscar and tries to starts fight with it, Lol.
So yes I would say it does depend but its all about the fishes temperament.

Hmm... Just thinking... Would one be OK with 2 pairs of Kribs in a Heavily Planted, Heavily Bogwooded(Is that even a Word?) 3ft tank? It's 37 Gallons if that helps...

Well that would be the bare minimum, really they need a 4ft to be happy.
Not sure on it though, it will work with kribs but not sure on the tank size.

I was thinking for one as they only grow to 6"... I know 4ft would be better but 3ft is the biggest I'm allowed and I've wanted one of these for ages, I've had to refrain getting one as the biggest long tank I've ever had till now is 2ft.
