Description

The Trout Goodeid, scientifically known as Ilyodon furcidens, is a robust livebearing fish native to fast-flowing rivers and streams in west-central Mexico, particularly in the states of Jalisco and Michoacán. It is named for its speckled, trout-like patterning and is valued in the hobby for its hardiness, active behavior, and ecological significance as a threatened species in the wild.
