Description
The Remote Chub (Macrhybopsis marconis) is a slender, small freshwater fish endemic to the San Marcos River system in Texas. It features a prominent dark lateral stripe extending to a caudal spot. This endangered species thrives in clear, flowing waters and is primarily a conservation subject rather than a common aquarium fish.
