Redfin bully Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Redfin bully in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: territorial
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 liters (20 gallons) for a single specimen, larger for groups or breeding pairs.
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other robust, similarly sized native New Zealand fish that can tolerate cooler, flowing water conditions. Avoid very small or delicate fish due to potential territorial aggression.
• Special requirements: Requires excellent water quality, strong aeration, and a well-filtered tank. Provide plenty of hiding places using rocks, driftwood, and dense planting. A substrate of gravel and sand is preferred. Mimicking a stream environment with good flow is beneficial. Breeding requires specific conditions, including a suitable spawning site (e.g., flat rock) and potentially a period of cooler temperatures.
