  • The Black Shark (Labeo chrysophekadion) is a large freshwater shark (catfish) species that hails from the rivers and streams of Malaysia and portions of Southeast Asia. Black Shark is a very interesting and inquisitive species that exhibits an attractive black coloration and active swimming style.
  • They grow much larger and are more aggressive than Redtail or Rainbow Sharks. Black sharks can reach upwards of 2 feet in length in larger aquariums and have the aggressive disposition to go with their large size.
  • They are best suited for aquariums with larger community fish species or New world cichlids, who are capable of handling the aggressive nature of the Black Shark. Aquarium aqua scaping design should allow for plenty of open space to allow them to swim freely.
  • Keeping Black sharks in larger aquariums (greater than 125 gallons) is important in order to mitigate aggression towards their tank mates since they will attempt to claim the entire aquarium as their own territory.
  • Black sharks housed in larger aquariums (6 feet in length or more) that are aqua spaced with a min of plants driftwood and rocks tend to be only semi-aggressive, as they are able to establish their territory without taking over the entire tank.
  • They should not be housed with any fish or invertebrate species that can fit in their mouth or that are easily intimidated.
  • Black sharks are known to be escape artists that will jump out of uncovered aquariums and splash water from the aquarium while feeding at the surface. Creating multiple territories within the aquarium by placing rocky caves, pots, or driftwood in multiple areas of the aquarium will help lesson aggression between the Black shark and its tank mates.
