IS THERE SUCH THING?

I just bought a couple of fish yesterday. They were labeled Albino Rainbow Sharks. I've been looking around this website, but can't seem to find any information on Albino Rainbow Sharks.
Is there such thing?

Yes there is. They are simply an albino version of the rainbow shark.

P.T.

yes theyre real fish.

Thanks for the info. I just read it. It says that Albino Rainbow's have a tendancy to fight amongst themselves. So should I assume that they prefer to be loners then? It's not advisable to get 2 or more? Or any other species of shark?
I like Bala's.

They are highly terriotoral amoungst their own species and similar looking Cyprinids.

That was very interesting Ryan. Thanks.
Bala sharks aren't really similarly shaped. Do you think that I might be able to get a few Bala's without any problems?

Yes providing you can house them. They can reach upto 12" and need plenty of swimming room. IMO nothing less than 100 gallons is suitable.

I've got a 42 gallon high. Is there a nice looking shark that you might recommend?
