ThankyouTinfoil barb
I think the apparent deformity is due to distortion from the tank glass.It looks like its face is deformed.
They are very active, large barbs used as food fish where they come from - only for large tanks where they can live in groups and swim in moving water.
Yeah it’s curved glass so probablyI think the apparent deformity is due to distortion from the tank glass.
Specific species is Barbonymus altus. Can be distinguished from the other commonly traded species, Barbonymus schwanenfeldii, by the lack of 2 black stripes on the upper and lower lobe of the caudal fin.View attachment 155741
