Apollo Shark Luciosoma Setigerum 5cm Overview: The Apollo Shark (Luciosoma setigerum) is a striking and energetic fish renowned for its sleek, torpedo-like body and vibrant silver coloration. With its streamlined appearance and active nature, it adds a captivating dynamic to any well-laid aquarium. Origin: Originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and Indonesia, these fish inhabit fast-flowing rivers and streams. Feeding: These omnivorous creatures have a hearty appetite, readily accepting high-quality flakes, pellets, and live/frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. A varied diet ensures their optimal health and coloration. Tank Mates: Best kept in small groups (3 or more) to alleviate stress, they coexist well with similarly sized, non-aggressive species such as barbs, danios, and rasboras. However, avoid housing them with slower or long-finned tank mates to prevent potential fin nipping. Aggression: Typically peaceful, though they can display mild territorial behavior, especially during feeding times or if space is limited. Providing adequate room and hiding spots can minimize any potential conflicts. Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced aquarists will appreciate the Apollo Shark's requirements. Attention to water quality, ample swimming space, and a balanced diet are essential for their well-being. Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a temperature range of 72-79°F (22-26°C), pH level between 6.5-7.5, and moderate hardness (5-12 dKH). Regular water changes are vital to replicate their natural habitat.
