Spined Bittering

The spined bittering is a freshwater fish known to inhabit midstream and downstream sections of rivers, particularly where the riverbed is covered with mud. These areas are characterized by slow-moving water, making it easier to spot this species. It typically measures around 10cm in length and features a body that is notably flattened on both sides. Its strikingly colorful scales make it a distinctive presence in freshwater environments, allowing for easy identification.
