  2. Roseline Sharks grow up to 6-8 inches in length, but some may be smaller or bigger.

  3. They can be territorial and aggressive in small aquariums, so they should only be housed with larger, more peaceful species.

  5. Roseline Sharks have black stripes along their bodies and can vary in color from reddish brown to orange/yellow.

  7. They are egg-layers, and the eggs take almost two weeks to hatch.

  8. Newly hatched Roseline Sharks should be placed in a separate tank with plenty of hiding spaces and a soft substrate.

  10. They are a schooling species that live in large groups, so they should be kept in aquariums of at least 30 gallons.
