Does anyone know where I can find these Lemon-Fin Barb? I want them!!!!!! More colorful than a Tinfoil barb and smaller!! I can throw a school of 6 or 7 in my 125 gallon tank

Stores in Maryland have them.

smaller? hahahaha

mine are 18 inches long!:

they are jammed into a 90 gallon tank:

you can fit two at most, not 6 or 7!

well, I guess you might be able to have 3, but you won't have room for much else!

they are beautiful fish though! Hope you find them.

In my area they show up rarely - once or twice a year I see them as babies.

Lovely looking barbs!

Not much info available on the interweb about these and mostly they are said to reach max 25cm (10")! In reality i think it's more like 20"
Try searching Hypsibarbus wetmorei

They appear quite frequently in UK LFS but no-one seems to mention how big they get!! Not good for the unsuspecting beginner.

I had 5 in a 90g until a power failure caused one of mine to commit suicide by jumping for freedom . The remaining 4 are now in a 250g.
