Extraordinary! What is the fish in the first picture? Love the colors and shape of this fish.
Thank you
There are two species in that pic, they are of the genus Barilius.

The one with red on the dorsal is barilius ardens, the other one is barilius bakeri.

The Barilius are awesome. I`ve had 5 B. cairnearensis (not correct spelling) for three years now. They never disappoint.

Another favorite that is a true mini-monster is Pseudocrenalabris nicholsi.
true
Their constant activity and voracious appetite is amazing to observe in a tank, and they are damn colourful.

Yes agreed, stunning photos Jibran! Plz tell me you have a sticky or post somewhere on the forum with advice on how we can get even half as good as shots :)
Main thing is using speedlights and a black background with no decor in front. With that you get extremely sharp shots due to a crazy low shutter speed.
