Rainbow shark in a goldfish tank

[Lennie]

As the title says,

Is it doable?

I already keep my goldfish tank around 21-22C. The ideal range for the rainbow shark I see is 20-26C. My goldfish tank is planted with some floating plants, elodea, and some other tough background stem plants. It is 180 liters (~48g).

I have two goldfish there and they are not bad swimmers. So I dont think they would be outcompeted by any means for food and such.
 

So do you think its doable to add a rainbow shark to their tank? Are rainbow shark aggressive towards fish that dont have the “shark look” too?

Thanks in advance

@Lennie The Redtail, Rainbow, and the Black shark  are territorial. Must be  provided with proper space or will harass other fish not just conspecific aggressive.

Years ago personally attempted to keep a Redtail Shark twice with no success. It was my fault didn't do research prior.
