🐟 Red Finned Cigar Shark (Leptobarbus rubripinna)
A Golden Cigar-Shaped Body With a Bold Black Stripe • Bright Red Fins • A Fast, Peaceful Shoaling Showpiece
 
📋 The Red Finned Cigar Shark, also known as the Red-Finned Cigar Barb, carries a long, golden-silver, cigar-shaped body marked with a bold black stripe from nose to tail, and bright red fins that glow as it swims. It's a sleek, eye-catching fish that brings colour and movement to a large aquarium.
It comes from the Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Every Red Finned Cigar Shark we ship is feeding well.
This is a fast, peaceful shoaling fish that cruises the open water, and it looks its best in a group of five or more. It's an athletic swimmer and a powerful jumper, so a tight-fitting lid is a must. It grows up to 50cm, so an 800L tank suits it well.
