About the Albino Rainbow Shark

The Albino Rainbow Shark is a visually striking freshwater fish, known for its vibrant red or orange fins and albino (white) body. 

They are not true sharks, but rather a color variant of the Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum), belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). 

These fish are active and can be territorial, especially towards similar-looking species.
