Albino Rainbow Shark
The Albino Rainbow Shark, also known as the Albino Ruby Shark or Albino Red-Finned Shark, is great for the semi-aggressive community aquarium, as long as they are the sole sharks and the other tankmates are of similar size. The Rainbow Shark is a beautifully colored fish with pink body and bright red fins, and red eyes.
It requires a large aquarium with driftwood, rocks, and spots of dense vegetation. This shark may set up territories around the aquarium. The Rainbow Shark will become very aggressive towards its own species when mature.
Unfortunately, the breeding habits of the Albino Rainbow Shark have not been documented.
An omnivore, the Albino Rainbow Shark is not a particularly finicky eater. It accepts flake food, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, as well as vegetable-based foods.

The fish is colorful and active. I kept it in a 55-gallon tank with compatible community fish. It’s peaceful with the right tankmates and enjoys the driftwood. Watch out for territorial behavior as it matures.
Jan Bower –
Looks beautiful with the red fins. I had to keep it alone because it became aggressive after two months. Good for experienced aquarists who understand shark behavior.
Brian Simpson –
The color is striking and it’s a great addition to a well-planted tank. I provide daily flake food and occasional bloodworms. It’s active and seems happy in the environment.
