Golden Rainbow Shark

Golden Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum 'Albino')

The Golden Rainbow Shark is a striking freshwater fish, featuring a pale golden to pinkish body with vivid orange to red fins. Bold and full of personality, they bring an energetic presence to aquariums, especially larger community setups. While they are generally peaceful when young, they can become territorial as they mature, so providing ample space, caves, and visual barriers is important. Best kept with robust, fast-moving tankmates, the Golden Rainbow Shark is a stunning and lively centerpiece for the right aquarium.
