Lighting : doesn't matter
Adult Size : 18 inches or more (45cm)
Minimum Tank Size : 55 gallons bare minimum, the bigger the better
Feeding : This fish will eat anything, it will also scavenge for leftovers.
 
Comments : A very interesting fish to keep if you have a big enough aquarium. I think this fish is beautiful, I love the jet black color. You will need a good filtration system as this fish gets messier the bigger it grows. You can keep it in a semi- aggressive community, but no long finned or slow fish. It will also eat tiny fish. I've seen big specimens of this fish housed with pacus, oscars, and datinodes with no problem.

Comment : Hi, I have a black shark it is round about 8" now and she is beautiful. She hasn't went for any of my long tailed fish but she has eaten 5 Rummynose Tetras. I was woundering what is the smalest size fish you can keep with this wounderful fish.
