Red Tail Shark Help

A friend of mine gave me some guppies and a red tail shark, guppies are gone red tail still here.
I have never kept one so need help.
All I keep are haps and peacocks can I mix this guy with them? he looks cool so I thought Id keep him, but whatever is best for him is the route im going.
Thanks for your help.

The only problem is the water prameters are no compatibles but maybe he can be fine with a gradual change

Yes you can. RT Sharks will live your H2O in San Antiono. Your hard high ph water will not harm your shark.

I agree.

Also the shark might be the boss once its all said and done. they are fisty boogers!

I agree, R/S should be fine. I would just keep one to a tank. That's from my experiences.

I currently have 1 red tail shark in my african community tank with 3 rainbow sharks and he is fine with africans and he his the boss of the sharks.

I was thinking since he was with guppies my Africans could be a bit to aggressive for him I was gonna give him away but the wify loved him so I told her let me ask my peeps and see what they say.
Thanks everyone into the Show Tank he goes

Mine is over 5" and loves his driftwood and his buddy (a pleco) they sleep together when lights are on. When the lights go out it's his tank. He never bothers anyone as long as he's fed.

Add a new cave when he goes in, that way he can have somewhere of his own that is not claimed.

Boss Shark !

It will take over that community in no time.

I have had one with my africans for years

Im sure Id like him if I could see him
all he does is hide I hate telling people I just added a SHARK! and when they look in the tank hes nowhere to be found.

6 inches and fat

nice
