yep... I agree, I have 5 of them in my barb tank
Yes it's the same fish. I forgot about that common name.

Quite a striking fish
Quite striking. Word on the streets is that farms try to only sell males to keep breeding competition down. I don't know if that's true as they are slightly larger fish than I usually keep.
I love them in a school... They need quite some length in a tank for their swimming potential. But yes, they are great looking fish.
A new one on me .

I couldn't help but notice the beautiful fish in the well-maintained tank. They caught my eye, and I'm now eager to add them to my own aquarium at home.
Bear in mind that they’re not tropical fish. Best temperature for them would be the upper 60s, and tropical temperatures (up to mid 70s) in summer only.
