Description

The Red-tailed Black Shark (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor) is a striking freshwater fish with a jet-black body and a vivid red tail, often mistaken for a true shark due to its sleek shape and swimming style. It’s popular in aquariums but requires careful care because of its territorial nature and endangered status in the wild
