I've had a redtail shark (or Labeo, not related to the shark at all) and he was a little warrior. Grrrrrr. lol

I saw someone who kept the relative of the red-tailed shark, rainbow shark with a baby oscar. The rainbow shark got eaten by the oscar and probably the same result goes with the red-tailed shark and an oscar that is a little bigger.

in the past i once kept a rainbow shark, epalzeorhynchos frenatum(a close relative of a red shark) in my oscar tank for many years. the oscars didnt bother with him and he lived with them till his death.(natural causes)

having said that all oscars are different and there is a possibility that your oscars might take a dislike to any tankmates and harass him to death or even eat him. caution should be taken when introducing any mates into an oscar tank.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

Necro has you covered but i will add that if the shark will fit in the oscars mouth the oscar will try to eat it

no kidding aside, red tail shark can thrive with an o...but there
is always a risk of being eaten when outgrown by the o.
