One of my favorite barbs, from Y618 LFS! The body gets a bit darker than the picture when they are horny. They usually look drab in the LFS, but look how they colour up once they settle in!!

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.

Give it 3 more days and it will heal back nicely. Or else, there is always photoshop....
BTW choy, I have seen some images of these barbs with long dorsal fins. Is it normal for mature specimens?
Apparently from what I read, these are used to create hybrids "tiger barbs". Can't imagine why anyone wants to do that when the original is so gorgeous!
One more of the dominant male after settling down a bit more. Interestingly, the subdominant male is more red than black.

That's a selectively-bred job for sure CK. Why oh why?

Another male.
The female.
Quite a bit of chasing and flaring in the group. Caught myself staring at them for a long time this morning...
Let's see if the LFS stocks more of these beauties.

huh? What blue pill? I no use substrate fert tabs.ck mistook the blue pill as substrate fert tab
I was keeping them with Puntius tambraparniei until I realized they were the reasons why my foreground plants keep getting uprooted. The fries appear when I banished all to the cory tank. Now there are nothing else with these fries and I have no idea how many of them in there.ck: nice

On a note of caution, they could be jolly well be Puntius tambraparniei fries, but for now, they look more like black ruby barb. Let's wait and see.

ahhh actually I was about to say they don't "feel" like nigrofasciatus to me. one kopi says they grow up to be tambra

Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
i would tend to agree with choy.
Beautiful barbs!
This is one of my males. It's difficult to get a decent picture of them.
Hmm, I think I have to clean the glass a bit.
The color of your black ruby is very intense. nice piece.
