Temperature: 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit
Food: Flake food, algae, bloodworms, tubifex, brine shrimp
Care: The red finned shark or rainbow shark can grow to 6-7 inches. It likes a pH of 6.5-7. They tend to hover around the bottoms scavenging for food with their whiskers. They enjoy a planted aquarium and swimming under and around rocks, wood and plants. They are general peaceful but can get aggressive of other rainbow/red-finned sharks.
Sexing these freshwater fish involves looking at their anal fins. Males have black lines on these fins and tend to be thinner than females. Breeding is difficult. They are egg scatterers and will eat their eggs so remove the parents after spawning.
