Very nice, we sell em with the common name 'Cigar shark' ive kept em in the past and found em to be quite fast growers, but am currently keeping hampala barbs and i find em slow growers, ha ha

I believe sometimes they're sold as Cigar sharks like you mentioned or Cigar barbs. Would love to get some hampalas if I can ever find any for sell locally.
