Received the school of three roseline sharks and they have been active and calm in my 55-gallon tank. They swim together in the middle, which is exactly what I expected. The fish are healthy and eating a mix of flakes and sinking pellets. Easy to care for once the water parameters are stable.

The sharks are peaceful and don’t bother other fish. I noticed they prefer to stay near the middle of the tank. I’ve maintained a consistent temperature and water quality, and they seem to thrive. A good choice for a beginner with a medium-sized tank.

Great addition to my aquarium. The three sharks swim together in a tight group and are very active without being aggressive. I feed them a balanced diet and keep the water temperature steady. They’ve been thriving for over six months now.
