Epalzeorhynchus bicolor (Red-Tailed Shark)

Not to be confused with red-fin shark.

Epalzeorhynchus bicolor (red-tailed shark) is a aggressive tropical freshwater non-shark fish that is also used as a aquarium fish that grows up to about 6 inches (15 cm). They are native to Southeast Asia and Thailand. Like most freshwater fish in aquariums, this fish can be feed flake and/or small livefoods (e.g. brine shrimp). Like its common name suggests, this shark is red a the tail fin, and black all over. This is not to be confused with the Red-Fin Shark, which its every find is red (but it still looks similar).

The temperature of the water should be at 72 - 79°F (22 - 25°C), with a pH of 6.0 - 7.0 (acidic to neutral). Its tail fin starts out silver, but changes to red over time.
