The Albino Ruby Shark can be quite territorial, and in a small aquarium it should be kept as a single specimen with no similar species. A far better way to keep these fish is as a large, rowdy group in a well-furnished set up in a similar way to some of the more boisterous barbs. Hiding places amongst rocky caves, bogwood and live plants will be very much appreciated. This primarily bottom-dwelling species mixes well with barbs, danios, rainbow fish and tetras, etc, that occupy a higher level in the tank. Despite their name, these are not predatory fish and will generally ignore small tankmates. This is the same species as the Ruby Shark, but in an aquarium-cultivated albino form. May also be seen on sale as Albino Rainbow Shark.
