Red-Tailed Black Shark
Epalzeorhynchos Bicolor
|
| Length: |
4.75" |
| Sex: |
The way to tell a male appart from a female is the dorsal fin. It ends with a point on the male and a right angle on the female. |
| Feeding: |
Live foods, flakes and algea wafers. |
| Social Behaviour: |
It is a semi-aggressive, territorial fish that doen't like other fish of its own species. Not the best addition to a community tank unless tank is very large. |
|
|
| Up Keep: |
Should be kept in a large tank. Some plants and areas to hide with an open space for swimming. |
| Breeding: |
Not easy to breed but some have been able to have success. They spawn in a cave type area and fry hatch after 2 days. |
| Comments: |
If you have live bearers such as guppies or platys which
breed fairly easy and often, the Red-Tailed Black Shark is
great for population control. |
