I do keep a bunch of them, dont really know bou't your area temp. For mine they are quite easy to keep. I have a 2-3 blue in the bunch the rest are mostly red. You'll need to add a wave maker in your tank / pond, they like it a lot.
Cheers

Here's a pic of my lot.

google image blue mahseer, and that comes up.

Mine does have a lot of blue sheen to it.

I will be getting more.

That pic is Tor tambra, or Tor tambroides, if I recall. There is a lot of nomenclatural uncertainty from the hobbyist level regarding mahseers, but I have not seen any pics of bigger N. stracheyi that resembled that particular pic.

I'm sure the mahseer people will be lined up to pay copious amounts of green when a vendor finally gets T. tambra in stock. I certainly will be.

I guess around 26 - 30 deg, did not really bother to measure it, anyway its around 3ft below ground level, so I believe the temp will be quite constant even at most time of the day its under the hot tropical sun shine.

My ultimate fish keeping dream is a tropical pond.

Yup. They are quite a happy bunch.

This is Thailand's Tor Tambroides or Thai Blue Mahseer. It has browny golden scales on the upper side and the fin color is bluish. It really a beutiful fish.
