Ask Finn

A small, resilient ricefish from East Asia that has been kept in captivity for centuries, available in wild olive-grey coloring as well as a wide range of selectively bred color and fin forms (orange, white, black, hikari). Hardy enough to tolerate a wide temperature range (60–86°F) including outdoor ponds, it is peaceful and easy to breed, and especially popular in Japanese aquarium culture.
