Collection: Sharks

Despite their shark-like appearance, freshwater aquarium sharks are not true sharks. These fascinating fish possess sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies, pointed dorsal fins, and forked tails, reminiscent of their saltwater counterparts.

• Unique Features:
  • Their down-turned mouths are adapted for foraging on the bottom of the aquarium.
  • As omnivores, they thrive on a diet of both plant matter and small invertebrates.
  • Territorial tendencies may arise, necessitating careful monitoring. Keeping them as the sole shark in a community tank or providing ample hiding spots is often recommended.
  • These active swimmers require ample space for exploration.
  • Some species possess sensory barbels on the sides of their mouths, aiding in navigation and food detection.
