Silver Shark Balantiocheilos Melanopterus

- /per
Meet the sleek and striking Silver Shark, an eye-catching addition to any aquarium. Originating from Southeast Asia, these graceful fish boast shimmering silver bodies complemented by distinct black-tipped fins, adding elegance to your aquatic landscape.
Feeding on a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and live/frozen foods, Silver Sharks are omnivorous and appreciate a mix of protein and vegetable matter. Ensure a balanced diet to maintain their health and vibrancy. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent tank mates for similarly sized, non-aggressive species in a spacious aquarium, preferably 75 gallons or more.
However, they might exhibit minor territorial behavior, so providing ample space and hiding spots is key to harmonious cohabitation. While generally peaceful, juveniles might display a slight tendency towards skittishness or curiosity, but they mature into calm and sociable adults.
Their moderate care requirements make them suitable for hobbyists with intermediate experience in maintaining tropical freshwater tanks. Maintain optimal water conditions with temperatures between 72-79°F (22-26°C), pH levels ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, and moderate water hardness. Elevate your aquarium with the beauty and grace of the Silver Shark, an enchanting addition sure to captivate any aquatic enthusiast.

24hr delivery of a pallet, for a complete marine aquarium. And two days before Christmas. No picking errors, best pricing and then great service with hour slot from UPN Pallet Network. Impressive!

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!
