Redfin tiger loach Profile

The Redfin tiger loach is a distinctively patterned freshwater fish, notable for its vibrant coloration that blends a base of golden yellow with bold, black stripes, accented by striking red fins. Originating from the rivers and streams of Southeast Asia, specifically around Borneo, Sumatra, and parts of the Malay Peninsula, this species features an elongated body with a pointed snout, characteristic of many loach species. While it has gained popularity among aquarium enthusiasts for its striking appearance and active behavior, the Redfin tiger loach is still considered a somewhat rare find in the hobby, appealing mainly to those who specialize in Asian river biotope aquariums.
