The redfin is a tropical fish of the carp family Tanichthys, which is native to Baiyunshan in Guangzhou, China. Its body color is mainly silver-gray with a dark blue line from the back of the eye to the base of the caudal fin. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the redfin and how to keep them.
What is Red Fin?
The red fin is a tropical fish in the family Cyprinidae (carp) and genus Tanichthys. The origin of the red fin is Baiyunshan in Guangzhou, China.However, the native red finfish in China is now considered extinct. Therefore, most imported individuals are now from Vietnam. The body color is mainly silver-gray with dark blue lines running from the back of the eyes to the base of the caudal fin. Another characteristic is the red coloration around the base of the caudal and dorsal fins. This is where the name "red fin" comes from.
Some specialty stores sell red fin fish under the name "coppy," but this website uses the name "red fin fish. However, this website uses the name "red fin" instead.
Although the redfin is sometimes classified as a temperate fish rather than a tropical fish due to its origin, this site treats it as a tropical fish.

How to keep red-finned tuna
The red-finned fin is an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of the red-finned mullet is approximately 2 to 3 years. Their body size is approximately 4 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water with a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0. Unlike other tropical fish, the red fin fish can be kept in water temperatures ranging from 10 to 27℃.However, as the water temperature drops, the risk of contracting diseases such as white spot disease increases, so a heater is recommended in the winter.
A heater is a device that maintains a constant water temperature. If you go to a specialty store that carries heaters, you will find a wide variety of types. Some people may be at a loss as to which one to choose. In this article, we would like to explain about such heaters [...]
Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the character of the red-finned pilot whale is relatively docile. Therefore, they can be mixed with other species.If the red-finned fins are territorial or aggressive, they may be injured or become ill due to stress. If the species you wish to mix with is aggressive, it is recommended that you take measures such as adding water plants or ornaments so that the red-finned fins can escape even if chased.
Points about spawning
Many people who keep red-finned sardines want to breed them. Although it is easy to keep red-finned sardines, it is a little more difficult to breed them. However, if you know the procedure well, you can increase the number of red-finned fins in a stable manner.
The first is to keep individuals that are suitable for breeding.The life span of the redfin is about three years, so the time until they are ready to breed is short, roughly four to six months after birth. This means that if you want to breed them, it is important to choose relatively young individuals when purchasing them from specialty stores. In addition, it is necessary to distinguish male and female red fins. Here, it is important to distinguish between males and females. To distinguish between male and female red finfish, males have more vivid body coloration as they mature. Females will also be taller than males, and their silhouette will change to a fuller body shape. If you want a male or female for sure, we recommend asking the staff at a specialty store.
The second thing to do is to prepare a breeding tank.As those who have bred killifish may know, if the parents (adults) and fry (young) are kept in the same tank after successful spawning and hatching, they may compete for food or the adults may eat the fry, resulting in a decrease in the number of fry. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that the parents and fry be kept in separate aquariums for easier management. However, unlike killifish, red fin fish are tropical fish, so heaters are recommended during non-summer months. This is also true for fry, so if you are not sure whether or not to purchase a heater for the aquarium in which you will keep the fry, you may be able to find equipment at specialty stores that will allow you to borrow part of the aquarium in which you are keeping the parents to make space for the fry.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

Points to keep in mind when keeping red-finned flounder
The red-finned fin is a popular species because it is easy to keep and to mix with other species. The red-finned tetra has long been a popular species along with neon tetras and other species.However, some people still tend to avoid red fins because they were treated as a degraded version of tetras when neon tetras and other tetras were expensive a few decades ago. If you have a chance to see a red fin at a specialty store, I recommend you take another look at it.
