Description
The Pacific Redfin is a large, active cyprinid fish native to East Asian rivers and coastal waters. It is characterized by a distinctive orange-red stripe along its lateral line, especially prominent during breeding season. These omnivorous fish require cool, well-oxygenated water and ample swimming space.
