Would this work for red finned sharks??

I bought one just the other day and im beginning to think i really shouldnt have. I had read up about them but from what i read it was ok to keep them on their own in a community aquarium...big mistake.

Ive only got a 2ft tank and he has taken to sleeping in my crocodile skull with the plec, they dont mind sharing which is weird. But he bullies all m,y other fish chasing them round and since i put him in i have had 2 torn fins....not nipped but slit if you know what i mean


I have 2 plants in their im meant to be getting another much bushier one...maybe that will help

Adding more decor would certainly help although you will need a bigger tank in the near future as these fish can grow to 15cm/6". Almost all freshwater sharks will show aggressive behaviour.
