Despite its name, it is actually a species of freshwater fish and not a true shark. This fish is highly active and can be territorial, especially as it matures, so it is best suited for larger tanks with plenty of hiding spaces. While it can be aggressive towards other fish, especially those that resemble its shape or size, it does well with other robust and similarly sized fish. The Red Tail Black Shark makes an eye-catching addition to aquariums with a strong, active community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"695\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"1027\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"770\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"770\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger community tanks with semi-aggressive fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"808\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"808\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"843\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"843\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"833\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"869\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"869\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"859\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5-7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"933\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"933\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"900\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly or in pairs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1003\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1003\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"954\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive; best with robust, active fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1027\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1027\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
