Freshwater shark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freshwater sharks are sharks able to live in freshwater lakes and rivers, including:

the river sharks, Glyphis, true freshwater sharks found in fresh and brackish water in Asia and Australia
the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, which can swim between salt and fresh water, and are found in
tropical rivers around the world.

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
the Rocky River freshwater shark
