Albino Rainbow Shark XXL 8-9CM
An Albino Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum) at an XXL size of 8–9 cm is a sub-adult to nearly full-sized freshwater bottom-dweller. It features a striking creamy-white to pale pink body, glowing red eyes, and vivid orange-red fins, making it a bold, active display fish that requires a minimum 50-to-55 gallon aquarium due to its territorial nature.
