Get a Rainbow Shark, 5 Reasons Why!! (2024 Re-Uploaded Version)
Re-upload of an older video with a few small edits. Rainbow Sharks are a controversial fish as they are sold at chain stores, get to a decent size, and have varying levels of aggressiveness. I've kept a Rainbow Shark previously and have a list of positive traits to go over in this video. If you have a tank that will support a Rainbow Shark there is a list of reasons they might just be a favorite fish of yours.

    So my question is I currently have an upside down catfish (4 inches) with a singular common goldfish (2.5 inches) I want to add the shark (about 3inches) to my tank (36 gal) , but I’m not sure how itll work out. The shark is currently in a 3 gallon, which is awful for the fish. So part of me wants to get the fish out of there. But I’m not sure if it’ll do good with the other fish. Or with my upside down catfish will put each other in their place. What would you recommend? Also with their temperature ranges I evened it out for both of them at 75°. They seem to be doing fine with that.

    The heart parrots are a tailless form like the meteor goldfish. Many species produce tailless forms but they are usually culled. The thai love breeding weird morphs though especially through artificial breeding. So we get weird stuff like that.

Thanks for the video, I'm new to this and I have bought angelfish and goldfish together and they have been together for 4 weeks first 2 weeks the angelfish was very agressive but now they are adapting to each other, so should I continue keeping them together or should I give it away because I'm more of a goldfish person and I would be sad if my goldfish die.

    Dwarf chain loaches are an even better option lol... they maxed out only to 2.5". Never seen one reaching 3". They have a ton of personality like most other loaches. They will also help decimate pest snail population in ur tank. I have a pair in two of my tanks. Nothing but empty snail shells laying around. 5" is still too big for me. My biggest tank is only a 29 gallon. My biggest fish is barely 3" and its a male kribensis cichlid.

    I just bought some yo-Yo loaches for the first time. I have them in a quarantine tank. How long should I quarantine them before putting them in my community tank? Also, are they prone to certain diseases that I should be looking for? I thought I read that they can have worms and need to be dewormed? I also heard they can be sensitive to certain medications so I'm a little leery of prophylactically medicating them.
