snookie Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 i was given one by a mate ,he never fitted into his tank set up know more, he apparently brought it in aucks a while ago , and he was sold as a tinfoil but he definetly not a tinfoil in my opinion as i have tinfoils also and looks like fish pictured , hope there is more as he looks stunning , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIAN Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi snookie, from what little I know about these barbs I would suggest that you dont comtemplate a mate as they may breed. These fish are extremely fecund and unless you are prepared to hire the local "Swimming Baths" and supply "0800 HUNGRY" then keeping a pair is not a good picture. I believe that they are a "STAPLE" food fish in INDIA and around The MALAY Peninsula, including TAIWAN and the PHILIPPINES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
