Acclimation Guide

1. Prepare Your Aquarium

Make sure your aquarium is fully cycled, with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite, and the temperature is suitable for your new fish.

2. Start Drip Acclimation

Place your fish and their transport water into a clean container. Using airline tubing, slowly drip water from your aquarium into the container at approximately 2–4 drops per second.

3. Slowly Add Aquarium Water

Over the next 30–60 minutes, allow the water volume to approximately double. This helps your fish gradually adjust to their new water conditions.

4. Transfer Your Fish

Gently net your fish into their new aquarium. Avoid adding transport water to your tank.

5. Give Them Time to Settle

Keep the aquarium lights off for a few hours and wait until the following day before feeding.

Important: Arrived with an issue?

If any fish arrive dead (DOA), keep the transport bag sealed and contact us within 24 hours with clear photos of the fish inside the unopened bag.

Albino Rainbow Sharks are striking freshwater fish with pale cream to golden-white bodies contrasted by vivid red or orange fins. Their elongated, streamlined bodies, pointed snouts, and forked tails create a sleek appearance, while their bright coloration gives them a distinctive look.

Common names: Albino Rainbow Shark, Albino Ruby Shark, Albino Red-Finned Shark
Scientific name: Epalzeorhynchos frenatum — albino variety
Approximate size: 12–15 cm
Temperament: Semi-aggressive and territorial, especially toward its own kind and similar-looking bottom-dwelling fish; usually best kept singly
Recommended tank size: 200 L or larger for one adult, with a tank length of at least 120 cm
Diet: Omnivorous; sinking pellets, algae wafers, spirulina-based foods, blanched vegetables, bloodworms, daphnia, and other small invertebrates
Origin: Mainland Southeast Asia; the albino variety is selectively bred for the aquarium trade
Basic care information: This color variety has a pale white or pinkish body with bright red or orange fins. Provide ample swimming space, caves, driftwood, rocks, and visual barriers to establish territories. Maintain clean, well-oxygenated water around 24–27°C with a pH of approximately 6.0–8.0. Feed a varied diet containing both plant-based and animal-based foods. Avoid housing it with other Rainbow Sharks, Red-Tailed Black Sharks, or similarly shaped bottom-dwellers in typical home aquariums. A secure lid is essential because they can jump.
