What are these Barbs?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
crap they were supposed to be mixed with the red hooks as dither fish now they are going to outgrow the dats :eek:
 
They come in mixed usually with both Hypsibarbus and Poropuntius sp. included. They definitely exceed 12" and they are tough as nails, and can be both mean and even predatory.
 
No, Hampalas are predatory, but otherwise very mellow. The yellow fins can be bullies.
 
mine are in with some beastly mean cichlids *(2 pair of red tiger motas, a 6in mean m. irwini whos a glutton, a mean reticulated ray whos a fatty, 4 beastly turquoise jewels who think they run the tank all the time, plus my other dithers (2 silver dollars 3 4in clown loaches and 4 4in giant danios)*
