3-4 Inch Rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus)

£2.50

The Rudd is a handsome UK native fish. Young Rudd are generally silver in colour with vivid red fins. As they mature the flanks take on a more golden hue. Rudd are generally surface feeders and have a distinctive upturned mouth that allows it to take insects from the water’s surface. They will tend to show up well in any clear water environment. A fish that favours ponds, small lakes, canals and slow-flowing rivers. Best kept in small groups as they are shoal fish.
