| − | :Mature females will be thicker and rounder in the body than males. Can be tricky to sex. | + | |tank_compatibility=:A large and active fish that may bully one another of their own kind if not kept in large enough surroundings. Should only be kept with robust similar sized fish as smaller fish may be viewed as food, such as [[Tinfoil Barb]]s and [[Bala Shark]]s. |
| − | + | |diet=:Is naturally a predator, and will eat live fish smaller than itself. They do accept frozen and dry foods and can be kept on a diet excluding live fish. Most food that reaches the tank floor may be ignored by the Apollo Shark. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Either feed once a day with a larger amount of food or twice daily with less food. If being fed with messy foods (frozen fish, beefheart etc.), feed only every 2 to 3 days. | |
| − | + | |environment_specifics=:The tank itself should be rather long and wide as to provide as much swimming room as possible for the active fish. The tank décor doesn't really matter as far as these fish are concerned; the only thing to take into consideration is that these fish need space, and decorations should not clutter the upper tank layers. Provide some form of water flow from either a powerhead or a power filter. | |

:Has a very different shape to other Cyprinids, but is very similar to other ''Luciosoma spp''. However, this is the most commonly occurring species in the hobby, so differentiation methods won't be necessary. | :Has a very different shape to other Cyprinids, but is very similar to other ''Luciosoma spp''.
