Asian Exotic Fish

[gau]

Hi,

My first post at MFK!! I am a aquarist. Started on some platys and zebra danios given to me by my neighbor who moved to another city.

I came across the following exotic fishes while surfing the internet. Does anyone here keep them? I would love to read the experiences of hobbyists, if anyone has kept them/still keeps them, and especially, if he breeds them and if there are any pics to share.

Burmese Redfin Barb
Oreichthys sp.

Odessa Barb
Puntius padamya

Platinum Barb
Horadandia atukorali

Neon Highfin Barb
Oreichthys sp. drapefin

Highfin Barb
Oreichthys cosuatis

You went to a monster fish keeper site to learn about tetras? Jk, Welcome to MFK! The only tetras i've only kept have been neons, but i know a lot of other people here keep them. Hopefully, someone can help you and give ya some info.

I like the colors on the platinum barb

I haven't personally kept any of those, but I've seen Odessa barbs in person at a local fish store and they are really pretty. I wouldn't mind a school of them.

Welcome! Just to give you a heads up MFK's members generally talk about bigger fish, though some do know there small fish pretty well. I'd recommend checking out aquariacentral.com cuz they are mfk's sister site but for small fish! Good Luck on your quest!
