Iridescent Shark

Essentially, they aren't particularly aggressive, but they do grow to be 18" long and like to shoal. As such, they shouldn't be kept in anything less than a 200 gallon tank.

I just posted a profile on the Iridescent Shark, you can see it here: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/iridescentshark.xml

These fish are very peaceful, but are not good fish for a tank. They grow very large, and are shoaling fish. I do not recommend that you buy one/any. It is sad how commonly available these guys are, considering that very few people have tanks big enough to house iridescent sharks.

Here is a picture of a full grown irridescent shark. They look nothing at all like the babys as you can see.

yea ID sharks get huge.

They are slow growers though, so you could keep them for a few years before they will get too big.

Id sharks have a close relative, and it gets over 2 times the size as an ID shark (about 8')
