This is an awesome scavenger for any semi-aggressive tank. The Rainbow Shark has an awesome deep black body, with a bright red fins that pop with the contrast. Primarily an algae grazer, Rainbow Sharks prefer a little bit of veggies in their diet, as well as small crustaceans that would inhabit the algae in the wild. These guys are very territorial, so we only recommend one per tank. Be careful as they grow, as they can get more aggressive, especially come feeding time.
