PineSong Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Just wanted to say I was so happy to see a new unboxing video starring Robert today. I saved it to watch after chores were all done. Thanks Robert! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjum Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Me too! Of course I want them all 😅 Particularly, now I want rummy nose tetras for their 'canary in the coal mine' abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I really dig the Zebras too. They have the blue and yellow colors you just don't often see! I'd love to raise some one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Either one! I want to breed a few species. White clouds, barbs, otos, and RTBS. There's just a lot for me to do and learn! I'm always down to spend more time with a single species and learn all I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Tailed Black Sharks 🙂 Quote The red-tailed black shark (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor; syn. Labeo bicolor), also known as the redtail shark and redtail sharkminnow, is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family, Cyprinidae. Despite its name, it is more closely related to carp. It is endemic to Thailand and currently critically endangered,[1] but common in aquaria, where it is prized for its deep black body and vivid red or orange tail. The red-tailed black sharks seen in the aquarium trade today are all captive bred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has been in a community aquarium all of her life and she literally cares for fry and is awesome. In my experience, which is one fish, as long as they have a place to hide during the day, they are very calm and very mild mannered. Obviously, if they are surrounded by fish with similar shape they do go off. Mine was kept with 3-4 SAEs and they learned real quick who was boss. But.... She would literally protect the Cory fry and she would keep the other fish, any of them from bothering them. I don't think they are aggressive, but more protective than anything. Maybe I just got lucky! Grace is a cool shark 🙂 Not mine, but this is what they look like: They get about 5-6" long. The one that Prime Time Aquatics has always seems like it's a foot long easily. Massive RTBS. There is also the BTBS which is the same thing, but a black tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
