Kevin Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have seen photos of this fish before and now I have an opportunity to buy some, but I can't do research without a name. They are silver like a tinfoil barb with some black spotting. What is distinctive about them is their tail which has horizontal orange (red) and blank stripes, kind of like a tiger. I here they can get quite large, but appear to be fairly placid. Any ideas. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
