Water Conditions
The Red Tail Shark is a popular freshwater aquarium fish known for its vibrant coloration and active personality. They prefer a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and a temperature between 75-81°F (24-27°C). It is important to maintain a consistent water quality by performing regular water changes and filtration. They are omnivorous and should be fed a balanced diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods.
Red Tail Sharks are active and territorial fish and can become aggressive towards other fish of a similar size and shape. It is recommended to keep them in a species-only tank or with other semi-aggressive fish in a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding places such as rocks or plants.
They are sensitive to poor water conditions and require a well-established aquarium with good water flow and oxygenation. A sandy substrate is preferred as it allows them to forage for food and mimics their natural habitat.
Overall, the Red Tail Shark is a beautiful and active fish that requires proper attention to water quality, temperature, and diet. With the right care, they can live up to 5-7 years in captivity.
