Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: omnivore
- Minimum tank size: 50 gallons (190 liters)
- Compatibility: Can be kept with other semi-aggressive to peaceful fish of similar size that occupy different parts of the water column. Avoid keeping with other bottom-dwelling, shark-like fish or very small, timid species. Only one Albino Rainbow Shark per tank is generally recommended unless the tank is very large (100+ gallons) with ample hiding spots.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places such as caves, driftwood, and dense planting. A sandy or fine gravel substrate is preferred as they are bottom dwellers. Strong filtration and good water circulation are beneficial. They are known jumpers, so a secure lid is essential.
