Hmmm..... monster fish indeed...
I saw a couple of juveniles at my LFS but then I'm not really a big arp/barb lover.
 
Woo, very handsome. Cant wait to see them when they get over a foot or two.
How much did you pay for them?
 
I paid £40 quid for the three they should have been £18 but there is one with only one eye so i got a deal .
Since then though they were all attacked by some Bengana Behri i put in the tank stripping scales off ,they have fungus`d up badly, though treatment seems to be working on the normal two the one eyed one seems to be in a bad way.
Fingers crossed at this stage.
 
Aye good luck! One of my Myleus schomberkii got his eye mangled up from repetative bites from a small Urau, but its healed over and although he is now blind, its not going to be infected.
Keep the water changes up and there should be an improvement soon.
 
Heres some big ones at my local zoo, sharing a tank some large clown loaches and asian arows:

Those are probarbus jullienii not catlocarpio ,very nice though ,i`ve got three jullienii but thankfully they are slow growers , had them nearly two years and gone from 2 and a half inces to about five in that time.
