Description
The Flinders Ranges Mogurnda is a robust, bottom-dwelling gudgeon native to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. It exhibits a mottled brown and tan coloration, often with reddish markings on its head, and is known for its territorial nature. This species prefers clear, well-oxygenated water with plenty of hiding spots and is best kept in a species-specific tank or with carefully selected, robust tankmates.
