Description
The Redfin Bully is a small, bottom-dwelling freshwater fish native to New Zealand, known for its mottled brown body and striking red markings on its fins, particularly vibrant in breeding males. They prefer clear, flowing water with ample hiding spots among rocks and driftwood. While generally peaceful, males can be territorial during spawning.
