What do you think of the Hampla Barb? I can get a big one for $20.00

If you got the tank space and the food... I'd say go for it! Very active fish... voracious eater!

 

[PhullTank57]

I've seen smaller ones retail for that price.

Yes, the problem with Hamplas is that they tend to be predatory with small fishes..I have a couple of smaller fishes in my tank and I dont want them to get eaten..I had some Hamplas in the past but not this big thou..They will snack on something that fits into their mouth..

 

[PhullTank57]

Yes, they will feed on anything that can fit in their mouths.

 

[croc 2-3]

Yes it is worth $20. These are great fish. They get at least 20 in.

I saw a Hampala Shark too for $20. I have been looking for these but nobody seems to be getting them in a smaller size. I want to get them at a smaller size. I will let you know if I see some around at a smaller size.
