If its what I think it is. it will be a species of Barilius. Asian, carp family.

The large one will become aggresive as they get larger. The different species range from 5" upto 12" or so.

i've seen them, its a raimas guttatus, incredible fish! get it, if not, welll, I would if I was in SGP

 

[channarox]

im gonna get it or a lizard fish.
yep.
raiamas guttatus.
what do i feed it?

 

[fugupuff]

they'll eat anything, from guppies to worms to sometimes pellet. i've only had them once, and it was like a 1" specimen. they swim non stop and need a lot of food

I got it few mths back ..about 5 inches ...it died after awhile ...think its quite sensitive ...

I would go for the lizard fish if I were you channarox, seems like its quite a bit more hardy, although it does get larger, at least the one you were talking about in your other post.

 

[ewurm]

Definitely get it, and post pics!

 

[channarox]

maybe i'll get both.
so are they really sensitive?
