[lilfishie]

Anyone know the Id of this guy? have had him a while (should of done his before)
He is very peaceful with his current tankmates, not the best photo's as he won't stay still

He's defo a Barb of some sort that i do know

Oohh
thats a tough one but you are right its definatly a barb of some sort
It could be a young tiger barb but the size of its body isnt quite right.

The closest ones i have found are an Albino rosy barb?
My link
Or a Clown barb
My link
Still its very hard to say because those two are both very big fish (14-15cm)

I'll keep my eye out for you
Hope this helped x x x

he is quite big, roughly 3" mark, his markings are similar to the Clown barb you posted, but he only has 3

just been having a look about it could
also be a Cummings barb or a two spot barb
spanner barbs the same as the last
two mentioned have variations

 

[lilfishie]

why must there be soo many similar fish am leaning more towards the lemon barb now

 

[juliedavis]

definitely not a spanner barb, they have vertical and horizontal stripes and a spot near ventral fin, nice fishy tho

he now has a new home in a nice 8ft tank
