Should that get rid of it through the whole cycle and kill it without using treatment? And i use King British white spot control which contains:
Malachite green (4% solution)
Acriflavine (0.005%)
Quinine sulphate (0.004%)

Dont know if thats any good
Thanks

Redtailed sharks are likely to get aggressive and territorrial when they are older and bigger, so i`d keep an eye on them.
Has the shark got all red fins or just the tail? If all the fins are red they are rainbow/ruby sharks and are peaceful fish.

Dont know if thats any help :D
