Freshwater shark
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
True freshwater sharks are sharks able to live in freshwater lakes and rivers, including:
- the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, which swims up tropical rivers around the world
- the river sharks, Glyphis, found in fresh and brackish water in Asia and Australia
A number of freshwater cyprinids (which are bony fish and thus quite unrelated to sharks) are also commonly called "freshwater sharks", "sharkminnows" or simply "sharks", particularly in the aquarium fish trade:
- Balantiocheilos melanopterus – Bala Shark, Tricolor Shark, Silver Shark
- Epalzeorhynchos – typical freshwater "sharks"
- Labeo – labeos
- Puntius denisonii – Roseline Shark
- the Mully Catfish
