The bala shark (Balantiocheilos melanopterus), also known as the tricolor shark, tricolor sharkminnow, silver shark, or shark minnow, is a fish of the family Cyprinidae, and is one of the two species in the genus Balantiocheilos. [2] This species is not a true shark, but is commonly so called because of its torpedo-shaped body and large fins.
Cyprinid fishes of the genus Balantiocheilos are easily distinguished from other members of the family by the presence of thick and fleshy lips, the lower lip bearing a large lobe that is deeply incised medially along its posterior edge and black along the distal margins of the dorsal, caudal, anal and pelvic fins.
While the majority of sharks are solely marine, a small number of shark species have adapted to live in freshwater. The river sharks (of the genus Glyphis) live in freshwater and coastal marine environments. The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas), can swim between salt and fresh water, and are found in tropical rivers around the world.
