Bridle Shiner

Bridle Shiners are delicate, silvery native North American minnows with a subtle horizontal stripe and graceful swimming behavior. Often found in slow-moving, vegetated waters, they make excellent additions to coolwater or biotope tanks focused on native species. Due to their sensitive nature, they do best in mature, well-maintained aquariums.
