Freshwater "Shark"-type Fish?

[Madding]

Any Labiobarbus species are usually considered "shark minnows".

How about a calico varigated shark. They can be a little nippy but max out under 12 inches and look pretty cool. Google varigated calico shark and see them.

The "Black shark" is a good one. However, grow absolutely huge, Up to 3 foot but 1.5-2 more likely. Very very aggressive. Hm did I say it's a good one> hahaha. Awesome fish though!

i love all the frshwater sharks but in my count i like the bala shark id shark red tailed shark rainbow shark and paroon shark..but hey i prefer balas most cause there awesome fish cause they have these multi color to them when they move but if you put them in a small tank make sure its temporary cause theyll need a 55 gal in my case cause they dont get so big but decent size btw..good luck man

Another shark thread...time to wheel out the old photo. You can keep this in your tank, beware of tank size though...
