General Comments:
The Chinese Hi Fin Banded Shark,
Myxocyprinus asiaticus, is also known as the Chinese or Sailfin Sucker,
Asian Sucker, and Entsuyui. It is considered a true suckerfish, and is named for
the absence of teeth in the mouth and a comb-like row of teeth on the pharyngeal
bones of the throat. It is thought to be one of the most primitive members of
the Cyprinidae family. As a juvenile, the Hi Fin Banded Shark has striking
contrasting colors and an inspiringly high dorsal fin. As an adult, these colors
fade. In the wild, this fish can reach up to 39 inches in length; in the
aquarium setting they generally reach only 18-24 inches.
Due to its its size, the Hi Fin
Banded Shark requires more advanced care and handling. Therefore, an aquarium
with 125 gallons or more of moving, well-filtered, and well-oxygenated water is
necessary. Many people find this species to be an ideal algae eater in the
backyard garden pond, as the fish can tolerate temperatures as low as 40 degrees
fahrenheit.
Peaceful by nature, the Hi Fin
Banded Shark is omnivorous, but leans toward the herbivore side of this
category, feeding on benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates and rasp algae
growing on rocks and logs. Freeze-dried or frozen bloodworms make an excellent
diet for juveniles.

state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale

We are changing our tropical fish

because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!
