Any Experience With Dangila Lineata Aka Silver Shark Barb Aka Siamese

[teddyman5]

I got two of these a few weeks ago and they are on their own in a 4 footer.However all they do is hide and seem very timid.Very little info in books or internet.Anyone kept them or got any info?

Thanks a lot

according to fishbase, the current valid as taxa is Labiobarbus lineatus, however even they don't have much info on it.

other names associated with this fish are
Labiobarbus leptocheilus, Labiobarbus cuvieri, Dangila leptocheila, Dangila cuvieri, Dangila kuhli, Labiobarbus kuhlii, Dangila kuhlii, Cyrene philippinia, Cirrhinus cuvierii, Dangila sumatrana, Labiobarbus sumatranus, Dangila berdmorei, Labiobarbus berdmorei, Labiobarbus burmanicus, Dangila burmanica, Dangila burmanicus, Dangila lineata, & Dangila rosea.
perhaps a search using those names will produce the info you are searching for.
