I had, as a youth a Red-Tailed Black Shark, and at one time a Rainbow

Mine had a black body too - very dark.

For whatever reason, my RTBS was not aggressive at all - and this was in
a 10 gallon community tank mind you. He lived for years and was not a
problem fish. The two rainbows I've had seemed more aggressive.

Mine was a "rescue" from someone who kept it in a small tank with
a large pleco, two angels, and various tetras. It was tiny when I
got it even though he'd had it for years. Because of its small size
I initially put it in my tetra tank but it was rather nippy, so I
moved it to the larger cichlid tank where it held its own and finally
began to grow. It's dead now (no idea what caused it) - don't think
it had much of a life in that tiny tank I adopted it from.

But it definitely had character and spirit. Aggressiveness, probably
not, but it's a lot tougher than it looks!
