silva Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 can som1 id these please? sorry pics aren't the greatest.. first is 'moe'-silver with a blue shimmer in the light, has a black spot over gold bar near tail fin.Top fin has black markings like an odessa barb? A pinky/red spot on nose.Quite feisty,. And 'muff' is silver without the blue shimmer, red nose and no markings in top fin.Has the same black spot over gold bar on tail. They schooled well with rosys when i had em and now hang with a pair of checker barbs and a heap of tiger barbs, but somtimes 'moe' will chase everyone away except 'muff'.

A-town... Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 its called a lipstick barb the first pic shows. heres some info Puntius erythromycter The Lipstick barb is distinguished from congeners in having a dark band around the caudal peduncle, an abbreviated lateral line, males with tuberculate reddish snout and absence of barbels. The name comes from the red snout in males (Greek erythros=red and mykter=upper lip). cool little barb had some myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
