Description: Cigar Sharks, or Red Finned Sharks, are named after their bright red fins. While these fish are small right now, they can grow over 3 feet! These sharks can be jumpy, so a tight fitting lid is highly recommended. Cigar Sharks are schooling, and do best in groups of at least 6 while being housed with other large fish. These fish are not picky eaters, and will readily accept most dry foods.
