The Ide, also known as an Orfe, is a predominantly silver-white fish. It has a dark-colored back from which its name is derived from. As it grows older, the Ide eventually has some tinges of gold covering its body. Its fins are light grey although its caudal, pectoral, and anal fin have a tinge of rose in them. They have a long, elongated body with a square-edged tail though there's a slight indention that makes it somewhat appear like a letter "v". Someone illegally imported Ides into New Zealand before, they didn't last long however. Ides became a popular ornamental fish in Europe, particularly in Great Britain, now they're more widespread in England and Wales. They originally came from France which went to Germany and finally, into the Netherlands.
