No, sharks get to big for that size of tank, I would suggest a 75 gal at a minimum for balas as they need to be in a school, red tail sharks should have at least 30 gals for 1

Rainbows get to 6 inches and need at least 30 gals, the same for the red tail shark.

Just too small for any of the "shark" labeled fishies. Sry.

no FW "shark" species will thrive in that tank.
rainbows and red tails are cousins I beleive, rainbows are a tad more aggressive in my experience. I use a 15g for a juvenile red ear slider and she is a wee bit to big for it. in a 15g id keep maybe a nice planted tank with some amano shrimps. as far as fish go its more of a QT size for me. |
