Good tank mates
This is a fluorescent red-tailed shark, and it's semi-aggressive and territorial, so it needs similarly-sized, not-timid tankmates, not a peaceful nano community. Keep just one per tank, since they'll fight their own kind and other sharks. Good company is active, sturdy mid-sized fish that can hold their own, like larger barbs, bigger danios, or rainbowfish, with plenty of hiding spots and broken-up sightlines to ease tension. Avoid slow or long-finned fish it can harass, and don't add a second shark of any kind. For a specific pairing you're unsure about, give us a call.
Good to know
GloFish Shark is the same species as the red-tailed shark, Epalzeorhynchos bicolor, bred to express a fluorescent color from an added gene.
