Ill looking to get a freshwater aquarium in about 2 months
it will be in the 50-55 gallon size

The main fish i want is the Redtailed shark, (2 of them) and I'm trying to see what other fish will co-habitate with them peacefully. In total, i'd like about 8 fish.
Some online sites say the redtails get along with other fish of similar size as long as they are the sole sharks. Their max size is about 4inches so i'd be looking for fish that get to about that size as well.

We had a fishtank years years ago but just had goldfish that grew up to almost 5". so i know the basics of caring for fish including heaters filters etc.

any advice or suggestions is appreciated.


edit: one online guide said these following fish are compatible with sharks(the freshwater kind whioch i know arent "true" sharks)...
Barbs, Danios/minnows, gouramis, loaches, placos, rainbowfish
