Melon Barbs

Gorgeous! I love them! You're so lucky to have a local hobbyist that breeds them :D

I could look at that community tank for hours, that photo captured my attention for a while, so much to look at, and so beautiful!

They've really colored up today, some are already developing more black markings. I adore them theyre really cute. And they get along great with the cherry barbs.

Ive moved the stock around in this tank. Right now its literally just barbs and catfish lol

6 cherry barbs

This is what their parents looked like, so I expect these guys will look like them when they grow.
 
I want that those. How much do they run?
Whoa,one site wants $18 per fish. Maybe I could pick up more of the Snakeskins I have? I still don't believe they reach 3" as wiki says. THAT'S a big Snakeskin barb.

Not a common fish in my area either.

Breeder was listing them originally for $10 each, though mine were a gift so I painted them something as thanks instead. Not sure the going price altogether for these guys though, as not one I see often. The parents were pretty big, almost 3 inches. Very fast fish too. But peaceful. For barbs.
