General Comments:
The Black Shark, also called the
Black Labeo, is uniformly black or dark brown in color. In some countries it is
an important food source. The Black Shark is a very active, somewhat aggressive
fish that is not suitable for the community aquarium. A large aquarium is
necessary for this shark as it may reach two feet in length.
The Black Shark is one of the
only sharks that should not be kept in a planted aquarium because plants are a
large part of its diet. A hood on the aquarium is also recommended, as the Black
Shark is an accomplished jumper.
