great shot! it is the Odessa Barb, as yet undescribed, from Myanmar. Search the forum for the entry.
Barbus are used for barbed cyprinids in Africa and Europe. Asian ones are Puntius.

Can someone clarify the species name and origin of this fish? Wild, bred or manmade?
I am not even sure what is the common name. Is it ticto barb? obessa barb?
Barbus or Puntius?
Thanks in advance.

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Thanks!
The reason I am asking is because some internet sources quoted it as a hybrid, or Barbus. Some quoted as Barbus ticto. Confused.
This fish has been around the hobby for sometime already yet no one described it? how odd.

It sure is a beauty... I was also scratching my head when I first saw them in C328... Never seen them before...
Any idea how big will it grow to? And will their colours fade off as they age?

Great shot of the Puntius sp. 'Odessa'!!
Seems like your aquatic macro photography skills have improved leaps and bound!!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Very well exposed and the fins are radiating!
'O' level standard liao... Maybe even 'A' levels...

Does it eat algae? Some people claim it does.
