because they come from China, and most fish from China are completely new in the hobby. but other than that they're easy to keep, eat pellets, tolerate a wide range of temperature and ph.,
I thought at least some people would have some... didn't realize that they were that new.
So far I have 2 Acrossocheilus fasciatus (4.5in) and just got 5 Acrossocheilus beijiangensis (1.5in)
Hopefully people get to try them out sometime. they are great fish! I got mine to eat from my hand after a week.
Still wish I could find some care...but I understand there isn't much because of how new they are.
Edit: I need to find out how fast they grow. the Acrossocheilus beijiangensis I just got are only 1.5 inches and I don't want to lose them to my 2.5in purple spotted Gudgeon.
The beijiangensis are in a 20 gallon until they can go in my 150 gallon with my other fish.

I have 1 and have to keep him w/ larger fish or nano fish. Anything same size or smaller it will most likely be aggressive. Only fish it wasn't aggressive w/ that was same size was bangana behri. It attacked same size Tor, small carp, and most of my others in community tank. I separated the acrossocheilus next day and kept it with cardinal shiners and it did great. after a few days i wanted to see how it did with bigger fish and now he's hanging w/ some 14" carp and doing very well. awesome little pilot fish now kind of...
