Silver Shark

Not really a shark, but it will eat whatever will fit in its mouth like one. Sometimes called the Bala Shark, the Silver Shark is disappearing from river basins in its native Borneo and Malay. There’s no clear reason for the decreasing population, but some think it’s due to forest fires and the aquarium trade. The Silver Shark is a popular aquarium fish.
