what are these two fish?

[samak85]

I bought these two fish today but don't know what kind they are
Any help classifying them

Looks like black red tail shark and an albino black red tail shark. I won't put two in the same tank if the tank is small cause they are territorial. What size tank is that?

 

[reefdiver]

I agree these will be very teritorial an mess with your other fish.

Epalzeorhynchos frenatum commonly called rainbow shark.

I thought rts only had red tails? Those are red fin sharks aka rainbow sharks in normal color phase and albino. They're also highly territorial. More so as they get older.

Actually the rts and rainbow shark are different. The rainbow is slightly more peaceful.

yes way too small. You need at least a 50 gallon tank for 1, honestly I'd aim bigger as many feel this just isn't enough.

 

[samak85]

OK I'll remove one
Thanks alot

Yeah I stand corrected. They're rainbows not rts; I didn't pay attention to the body build either. So sorry for pointing you in the wrong direction. My bad.

The red fin or red tail shark has a red tail only. All the fins of a rainbow shark are red.

It's ok
I'm really thankful
