The shark arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to my 10-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and stays near the bottom. Easy to care for and looks very natural in the water.
Chloe Metcalfe –
It’s a quiet and calm addition to my aquarium. I noticed it swims slowly and stays in the back corner. The coloration is natural and matches the tank environment well.

Perfect for a small tank. The size is exactly as described. It’s not flashy but very peaceful. I’ve had it for two months and it’s thriving.
