The Golden Rainbow Shark is an eye-catching leucistic color morph of the standard Rainbow Shark, replacing the dark body with a bright golden-yellow tone while retaining fiery red-orange fins. Like its wild-type relative, it adds dramatic color and active bottom-level movement to semi-aggressive community aquariums. It requires plenty of territory markers, caves, and shelter to manage its natural territorial instincts over ground-level territory.
