the name is Puntius gelius and it comes from India. Just keep them in general "barb" condition is fine, i.e. soft water pH 6-7.

Didn't they come in a few years ago?

[Quixotic]

Taiwan import?!?

Yes, they were here in Singapore a month or two ago, some leftover stocks still available in some LFS.

By the way, P. gelius has always been available here in Singapore as far as I am concerned, at least once a year, perhaps even twice a year.

maybe the LFS thinks Taiwan fish more sexy?

Yes, they are quite cheaply available here. Water requirement shouldn't be too different from the other barbs.
