The Rainbow Shark is a stunning freshwater fish known for its sleek, streamlined body and vibrant red fins. Native to Southeast Asia, this lively species is cherished by aquarists for its bold appearance and energetic swimming. Reaching up to 6 inches in length, the Rainbow Shark thrives in aquariums of at least 50 gallons, providing ample space for its active nature. While generally peaceful, it can become territorial with bottom-dwellers or similarly shaped species, so it's best housed with peaceful fish that occupy different areas of the tank. As an omnivore, the Rainbow Shark enjoys a varied diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. It also benefits from fresh vegetables and algae-based foods to support its vibrant colors and overall health. With its striking appearance and dynamic behavior, the Rainbow Shark is perfect for intermediate aquarists seeking both beauty and personality in their freshwater setup.
