Albino Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum) – Unique White & Red Freshwater Algae Eater | Fish R Us

Looking for a stunning centerpiece fish that truly stands out from the rest? The Albino Rainbow Shark offers all the active personality of the traditional Rainbow Shark, but with a striking, high-contrast color morph that brightens up any tank!

This unique variety features a smooth, pale-pinkish-white body paired with brilliant orange-red fins and characteristic ruby eyes. As active bottom-to-midwater swimmers, they love to patrol the tank floor, weave through plants, and browse for leftover food and algae.

Approximate size: 2.5″

Why You’ll Love The Albino Rainbow Shark:

• Unique Coloration: Translucent white body with rich red-orange fins creates an unforgettable look against dark substrate or planted decor.

• Active & Entertaining: Constantly exploring, patrolling, and keeping your aquarium floor lively.

• Natural Helper: Grazes on soft algae and helps tidy up leftover food scraps along the tank bottom.

Care & Tank Requirements:

• Care Level: Easy to Moderate

• Temperament: Semi-Aggressive / Territorial (Best kept as the only shark in the aquarium)

• Minimum Tank Size: 29–55+ gallons (Requires plenty of swimming area and cave-like hiding spots)

• Water Parameters: Temperature 75°F–81°F | pH 6.5–7.5

• Ideal Tankmates: Robust, fast-moving mid-to-top dwellers such as Barbs, Danios, Gouramis, and larger Tetras. Avoid keeping with other sharks or delicate, long-finned bottom-dwellers.
