Red-Tailed Black Shark
Epalzeorhynchos bicolor
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii
A striking freshwater cyprinid native to Thailand with a jet-black velvety body and a vivid red-orange tail fin. Grows to about 5 inches and is territorial, especially toward its own kind and similar bottom-dwellers. Best kept singly in a 55+ gallon tank with caves and driftwood for hiding. Despite the name, it is not a true shark but a member of the carp family.
