About the China Hi Fin Shark
Species Type: Freshwater Fish
Category: Cyprinids ...
Myxocyprinus asiaticus are native to China, so perhaps we should all agree to use the 'official' Chinese common name "Chinese sailfin sucker" as noted on their sign.
High Fin Shark (High fin banded shark, Iridescent shark, Chinese sucker, Myxocyprinus asiaticus asiaticus)
Not only do these fish prefer temperate water that would be too cold for other community fishes, they grow to be 4 feet long.
The Chinese Hi Fin Banded Shark, Myxocyprinus asiaticus, is also known as the Chinese or Sailfin Sucker, Asian Sucker, and Entsuyui.
