Community with caution – Very territorial
The Red Finned shark is a beautiful fish that is often in a bad mood. They will not tolerate another shark of the same or similar species. They like to stake out their territory and will guard this territory against similar species and often smaller fish of completely unrelated species. Having said all that, Red finned, fed tailed or rainbow sharks are beautiful and can be a great choice in a boisterous community situation.
