yes, they are both bottom feeders. There should be no problem at all except for the rare territory fight. Both species are calm but some individuals are aggressive.

No, it is not. The Red Tailed Shark will attack the Chinese Algae Eater, and vice versa.

both are pretty aggressive as adults, if your tank is big enough and you have enough hiding places, it may work. the chinese algae eater grows nearly twice the size of the shark, so watch out.
