More about Iridescent shark
The Iridescent shark, despite its name, is not a shark but a type of catfish native to the rivers of Southeast Asia. It has a sleek, elongated body that is primarily silvery or iridescent in color, contributing to its shark-like appearance. These freshwater fish can grow quite large, making them ill-suited for standard home aquariums. Despite this, they are somewhat popular in the fishkeeping hobby, especially among those with the capacity to house them in appropriately sized tanks or ponds as they age.
