Description
The Goldline Scissortail is a peaceful, active schooling fish known for its distinctive caudal fin, which features black markings on each lobe separated by a clear or yellowish area, resembling a pair of open scissors. A prominent gold or silver lateral line runs along its body. These hardy fish are an excellent addition to a community aquarium.
