A six inch long red fin shiner? That's pretty big for redfin shiner! They usually reached 3inch long and that's it. What is this shiner's latin name? Im member of NANFA (North American Native Fishes Association.) Maybe you could post a pic of this shiner so I can id this shiner. Because redfin shiner can meant different species with different requirements care. But most shiner species like current in their water and cooler temp, love cleanier water and need more aerated water.
