poor thing. is this the bigger or smaller one? for the bigger one, which I think is male, the red should be VERY VERY intense like those you see in the LFS.
for a long time this fish Puntius sp. ‘Odessa’ was available through the trade from breeders in Eastern Europe (hence the name Odessa, a Black Sea town). this pair is obtained from Myanmar, actual wild Odessa barb, and it goes to show that the strong red coloration is present in the wild poppulation, not enhanced by the breeders.
