Zacco platypus

🐟 Zacco platypus – The Pale Chub (But Let’s Be Honest… the Scientific Name is Cooler!) 🐟
https://www.jraar.org/product-page/mystery-fish
 

This sleek, active fish is known commonly as the Pale Chub, but we think Zacco platypus sounds way more impressive! Native to East Asia, this species is fast-moving and thrives in cooler, oxygen-rich water — perfect for a river-style setup or large, well-filtered tank. 🌊
 

💡 Quick Facts:

  • Active and schooling — prefers to be with friends

  • Enjoys strong current and cooler temps

  • Best suited for larger, well-aerated aquariums

  • A fun, unique addition for fish keepers looking for something different!
