Freshwater sharks

[Gr8KarmaSF]

theres the rose line or red line shark...

recently taken off the endangered species list. very fast and swift, very colorful when happy red and yellow, best in schools, highly under rated in this hobby IMO. have only seen a VERY few full grown ones.

there are true freshwater sharks, I believe in Asia.

they're very endangered and there will be no chance of you ever getting to see any.

there are also true freshwater sawfish, which is related to sharks.
