Etheostoma zonale

ℹ️ Overview

The Banded darter is a colorful freshwater fish known for its vibrant patterns and hues, often showcasing bands or stripes of vivid colors such as red, green, or yellow. Originating from the Eastern United States, particularly in streams and rivers, it possesses a slender body shape typical of the darter family, allowing it to navigate swiftly in flowing waters. Despite its striking appearance, the Banded darter is not widely known or commonly kept in the aquarium hobby. This is likely due to its specific habitat requirements and lesser availability compared to more popular aquarium fish.
