Silver Shark Balantiocheilos Melanopterus 8cm

“Meet the sleek and striking Silver Shark, an eye-catching addition to any aquarium. Originating from Southeast Asia, these graceful fish boast shimmering silver bodies complemented by distinct black-tipped fins, adding elegance to your aquatic landscape.

Feeding on a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and live/frozen foods, Silver Sharks are omnivorous and appreciate a mix of protein and vegetable matter. Ensure a balanced diet to maintain their health and vibrancy.

Their peaceful nature makes them excellent tank mates for similarly sized, non-aggressive species in a spacious aquarium, preferably 75 gallons or more. However, they might exhibit minor territorial behavior, so providing ample space and hiding spots is key to harmonious cohabitation.

While generally peaceful, juveniles might display a slight tendency towards skittishness or curiosity, but they mature into calm and sociable adults. Their moderate care requirements make them suitable for hobbyists with intermediate experience in maintaining tropical freshwater tanks.

Maintain optimal water conditions with temperatures between 72-79°F (22-26°C), pH levels ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, and moderate water hardness.

Elevate your aquarium with the beauty and grace of the Silver Shark, an enchanting addition sure to captivate any aquatic enthusiast.”
