I reacamend c because they are playful and active but don't keep too much sharks because they are territorial.

I don't know what size tank your getting. It would make a difference. You might consider what I've been thinking of setting up. Viel Tailed Angelfish, various Rainbows (Australian, Bosmoni, and Turquois), with various Botias (Lohachata, Queen and Clown Loach) to scavenge the bottom. Also the possible addition of Bala Sharks or Silver Dollars to that mix. I think it would make a nice community tank.

I would say c because the fish are active and most "mini" "Sharks" are peacful. I have some irridescents that are peaceful, yet very skittish.

Hi spaz_9871,
I would go for 1 if i was very well experienced, 2 if i was experienced and 3 to start with which is a community tank.

But if you are a care ful starter i would rather go for B but certainly not A as it requires at most care

Tank size will dictate what you can and cannot do. Also whether or not you plan on planting the tank.

What size tank do you plan on using?
