The Rainbow Shark, also known as the Ruby Shark or Red-Finned Shark, is great for the semi-aggressive community aquarium, as long as they are the sole shark and the other tankmates are of similar size.

The Rainbow Shark, otherwise known as the Ruby Shark, or Red-Finned Shark, is a beautifully colored fish which is a dark gray to black with red fins. There is also an albino variety.

I have two of these wonderful Cichlids, they are peaceful except when I feed, then they can get a little nippy. They are in a community tank with 4 Clown Loaches and 2 Bala Sharks and 1 Albino Ruby Shark.
