Ask Finn

A small, colorful rainbowfish native to Cape York Peninsula and New Guinea, with males displaying reddish-orange to red body coloration with a distinctive pattern of dark scale edges creating a spotted or reticulated effect. It is peaceful and active, best kept in groups of 6+ in a well-planted tank of 20+ gallons, and is suitable for community setups with other peaceful small fish.
