Red-Tail Shark - 5cm (Epalzeorhynchus bicolor) (Live Fish)

Red-Tail Sharks (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor) are striking freshwater fish admired for their deep black bodies and vivid red tails. Their bold contrast and active swimming behaviour make them an eye-catching addition to larger community aquariums.

They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water quality, good filtration, plenty of swimming space, and a combination of plants, rocks, driftwood, and caves. They can become territorial as they mature, particularly toward similar-looking bottom-dwelling fish, so providing adequate space and clearly defined territories is important.

Feed a varied diet of quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, flakes, vegetables, and occasional frozen or live foods.

Size, colour, pattern, and appearance may vary.
