Acrossocheilus fasciatus
there is next to nothing on them out there that I could find...they list them on Wet Spot... they only picture juvenal's, and call them railway barbs... ( the seller I got them from calls them... Red Fin Torpedo Barbs )
but they go through quite a transformation, to adult colors...
everything I can find say 8 inch at full length... nothing on Seriously Fish... but looking up 2 cousins they list both are the sameish length...
I bought one... the seller has pretty basic information...
"This amazing fish is rarley seen in the hobby. The adult colors in the scales are golden with black horizontal bar and bright red fins. They start with a juvenile color of gold and black stripes then change with age. This impressive fish is a species of cyprinid fish from the Pearl River basin in southern China. This beautiful fish reaches 8 inches in length. It is a peaceful fish that does well when in groups or by itself."
mine seems fine with only one... but looks like it would be more comfortable with friends... I think I'm going to order a 2nd... mine came in as an adolescent... color changing... I'll get some better pictures, this is day one, FOB & it looks more like a Perch or Walleye, except for around the mouth... it has colored up a little more since it's been in the tank
if anyone has any information, I'd appreciate it...
