Rainbow Shark
Epalzeorhynchos bicolor
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A sleek, torpedo-shaped cyprinid from Southeast Asia with a dark grey to black body and vivid red-orange fins, reaching about 6 inches. Despite the name it is not a true shark; it is territorial and semi-aggressive toward its own kind and similar-looking fish, and should typically be kept as a single individual in a tank of 55+ gallons with plenty of hiding spots.
