the fish you have are zacco sp. not barilius, closely related, but not the same.

opsaricthys do not have much coloring on them usually. the ones you have probably originated from Hong Kong or Southern China. there is a species from Taiwan that is bright orange when breeding, as will these zaccos you have also

ooooo BRIGHT ORANGE !!! hope i get to see that happen cuz it seems i have a definite male and female

very nice... how big these guys get?

good question.... i originally thought they were burmese trout barb, but guess not , they would be like over a foot long if they were.... im guess these will only get to ... not sure.... 4" ? or do they actually get monster ? cant find any info on them ^^;;

going to be? xD they ARE already beautiful xD....

the thing thats bothering me though, i dont know whats the max size on these ^^;;

and i decided to just feed them pellets ( which they are taking eagerly) instead of feeders cuz i still dont trust feeders, and the feeders scares the other barbs i have in there ..... fast lil eaters they r. even faster than masheers

if they are anything like the raiamas species,im guessing around a foot max size?

 

[pupumole]

wes said its a zacco specie (which i agree ) .... not the same as raiamas(which is what i was hoping for ) ....
