beautiful fish... too often under-rated as a ornamental fish.

**hwchoy** · 2nd Dec 2003, 03:41

actually the red flash shark Puntius denisonii looks exactly like an SAE with a red eyebrow and swimming energetically. [:

Is it the fish called red line torpedo or denison flying fox? I got a couple of those in my tank. Very big and fat now. It has a red line down from the eye to mid abdomen area. The anal fin has 2 yellow streak on it. Very beautiful fish.

Cheers

paiseh, I actually don't even have the fish, just sapoo other people's pictures.

I have 5 of the P. denisonii. Very peaceful fish. I have C. hasbrosus, sparkling gouramis, some small charachins, some N. eques and otos in there. No problems. Other then a fat old SAE, they are the biggest fishes in there.

The only possibly related losses are the teeny weeny taiwan shrimps I added some weeks ago. They dissappeared the very next day and the only fishes in the tank then was the SAE, otos and the P. denisonii.

you cannot click and view, you have to right-click and save the video file, then play it with Media Player or Quicktime.

**lvanilla** · 2nd Dec 2003, 11:10

lvanilla, I haven't seen any other variations. Maybe its the water conditions.

The price varies from LFS to LFS, ranging from $10 to $25. I got mine at Clementi Florist and Aquarium (the original C32

at a pretty good price. It'll be worth your while to check them out.

**TanVincent** · 2nd Dec 2003, 11:21

I have seen those with very light coloration on the body and anal fin, should be the water condition because mine is totally pale when i switch off the light.

They are extremely peaceful fish. If budget allows, I would have got a few more to school.

My SAEs sometimes schools with the denisons.
