come get me tang police!
Common name: Sailfin Shiner
Scientific name: Pteronotropis Hypselopterus
Native range: South Carolina down to florida and over to Southeast Alabama
Native habitat: Moving creeks, streams, areas with current.
Compatible tankmates: Very community friendly fish, works with other similarly sized fish
Recommended tank size: 20g+ preferred
Size: Up to about 2", females a little smaller.
Diet: Omnivore, eats small insects and some plant matter. Readily accepts flakes/pellets
Description: Related to the Flagfin Shiner, this fish has a steel blue lateral band and a dorsal that is white on its base and tip and black in the middle.
Behavior: Peaceful schooler, don't typically harass or bother other tankmates.
Reproduction: Egg scatterer
General: These guys are a bit smaller than their cousin the Flagfin Shiner, but still look great in schools and are a great addition to community tanks that want something unique. They come from waters with a variance in temperature range, from low to upper 70s, possibly even in the 80s, so they'll be just fine at room temperature.
