The labeo fish is a member of the carp family, of which there are several. They are generally thought of as bottom feeders, as they have pronounced mouths with suction type lips, functional for feeding off the bottom. They also tend to standout with red tails, which serves for a standout visual appearance. This appearance has given them the name "red-tailed black sharks." Labeo fish tend to hail from Thailand. The fish start out as typical aquarium-sized fish, but can outlive themselves as far as welcome is concerned due to their aggresive nature. Care must be given to aquarium neighbors. Other bottom dwellers, such as catfish, tend to be fended off as the labeo get territorial as they get older. The labeo does best in a neutral pH water environment.
