Despite its name, it is not a true shark but belongs to the family of carp-like fish. This species is known for its active swimming behavior and prefers to occupy the middle to top regions of the tank. The Silver Shark is peaceful but can be somewhat territorial, particularly if kept in smaller groups. It is best suited for larger aquariums with plenty of space for swimming. These fish do well in schools and are typically hardy, making them a great choice for a variety of freshwater tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\" data-end=\"817\" data-start=\"800\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1152\" data-start=\"819\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"896\" data-start=\"819\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"896\" data-start=\"821\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"841\" data-start=\"821\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active community tanks with plenty of swimming space\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"934\" data-start=\"897\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"934\" data-start=\"899\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"921\" data-start=\"899\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"969\" data-start=\"935\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"969\" data-start=\"937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"959\" data-start=\"937\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"995\" data-start=\"970\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"995\" data-start=\"972\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"985\" data-start=\"972\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"1038\" data-start=\"996\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1038\" data-start=\"998\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1026\" data-start=\"998\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 or more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"1125\" data-start=\"1039\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1125\" data-start=\"1041\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1059\" data-start=\"1041\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful but can be territorial with other fish of similar size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"\" data-end=\"1152\" data-start=\"1126\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1152\" data-start=\"1128\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1141\" data-start=\"1128\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–25 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\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.
