Tips Identifikasi

1. 1

   Body Shape and Coloration

   Look for the elongated, somewhat compressed body. Wild Ide are silvery-grey, while ornamental Orfe are bright orange or golden. The darker back and lighter belly are characteristic.

2. 2

   Mouth Position

   The relatively small, slightly upturned terminal mouth is a key feature, distinguishing it from some other cyprinids with subterminal or inferior mouths.

3. 3

   Fin Coloration

   In wild Ide, the anal and pelvic fins often have a reddish or orange tinge, which can be a useful identifier.

4. 4

   Scale Count

   Counting the scales along the lateral line (typically 55-61) can help confirm identification, especially when differentiating from similar species.
