The red-tailed black shark, also known as the redtail shark and redtail sharkminnow, is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family, Cyprinidae. Despite its name, it is more closely related to carp. It is endemic to Thailand and currently critically endangered, but common in aquaria, where it is prized for its deep black body and vivid red or orange tail.

Typically they are aggressive chasers, but will rarely bite or harm other fish. Individual personalities vary greatly—some are calm, while others are rather aggressive towards tank mates. They are bottom dwellers and like lots of dark hiding places. They get along with gourami, barbs, D danio, catfish but they do well with other sharks when they’re young. Red-tailed black sharks can reach a length of 16 cm (6 in)

Ideal water parameters, pH 6.8 to 7.4, temperature 72-80f

Feeding albino shark will eat a variety of foods. Feed a varied diet of frozen food, freeze dried and flake foods.
