I did some research online and found several recommendations. You
might look at the following links:
http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-RedTailShark.htm
check out the forum comments below the fish description
http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_bicolor.php
again, see the forum comments for other people's experiences
The consensus seems to be bigger, equally aggressive fish. Your
problem might be tank size. You should consider the mature size of
any fish you add.
Those are beautiful fish, btw. I tend to keep smaller, blander fish
which I enjoy but I can appreciate the attraction of the more brightly
colored fish.
