Redtail Shark

The Red Tail Shark (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor) is a striking freshwater aquarium fish from the minnow family, prized for its sleek, shark-like body and vibrant red-orange tail. Despite their rough, marine-like appearance, these fish are peaceful toward most tank mates but highly territorial with other bottom dwellers. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and make an eye-catching addition to established freshwater setups. Ideal for intermediate aquarists looking to add dynamic movement and color to their tanks.
