They give a scientific name in the article but they all lead to Chinese Hi Fin Banded Sharks!?

its prob a hi fin but its a different color because it over time changed color to blend in to the substrate in the water system it lives in

That's definitely a high-fin.
Over time they turn to a rusty-red color and their fin becomes less high.

I always thought they change to a drab tan/brown color. It actually looks pretty cool with the red.
