The Red Tailed Black Shark, although smaller than the Rainbow Shark, has
a meaner streak, but the answer could still be yes, but only one, and it
will exhibit a more forceful presence in the tank. Sometimes this means
that it establishes itself as the boss with a tank of non-territorial
fish, and then becomes a benevolent ruler ;~) With territorial fish, the
squabbles might be more persistent. It's really a case of ymmv, and it's
all just opinions anyways. Fish sometimes have very unique personalities
(not entirely predictable), and their order of introduction can be a
strong determining factor. It's usually a good idea to stock a tank with
the smallest and least territorial first, moving to larger fish as you go
along, ending with what you would expect to be the most territorial.
This tends to level the playing field a bit.
