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!
