Description from the creator

Rainbow Shark looks great in a community aquarium; however these fish are known to be super aggressive towards their species in an aquarium or any fish which looks like a rainbow shark. The same fish seem to be very well behaved if kept alone with compatible tank mates.
Scientific name for Rainbow shark is Epalzeorhynchos frenatum; they are also known as the ruby shark, red-fin shark, red-finned shark, rainbow sharkminnow, green fringelip labeo, whitefin shark and whitetail shark minnow etc
In their natural habitat located in Thailand, Laos & Cambodia Rainbow Shark fish are tolerant to each other, hence they can be kept in a group with the right tank mates, tank size & if kept in right numbers.
The video is about a group of Rainbow Sharks kept in a community aquarium with compatible tank mates.
The Tank size for this must be 50 gallon or bigger. Juvenile Rainbow Sharks of 7 to 8 must be released at the same time to the aquarium. Remember this fish can grow up to 6 inches & 50 gallon aquarium will not suffice in future.
Tank decoration for Rainbow Shark is preferably planted aquarium, I chose driftwood with earthen pots for this set-up. Driftwood helps with maintaining pH level close to neutral 7 & clay pots give them place to hide.
I use a power head filter for this aquarium & follow 2 week water change of 25%.
Tank mates for Rainbow Fish, I've kept them with Buesnos
