My favorite mini Monster...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They are nice looking,I have never seen them before are they aggressive at all?
Bought these wild at 2", about $22 each. For a barb, these are relatively rare, and kinda expensive. Eats very well, good growth so far. Mixed with a group of Roselines. Growth to 4", with nice coloration. Not aggressive, but do chase each other only. I bought these as I really wanted to add some color to my tank, and wanted something that would not outgrow my 170g.
 
It is certainly a good looking fish that I will have to keep in mind if I set up a community tank.
 
How many of those fo you have, J?

Here's the one I've been looking out for, for years now: Puntius arulius
