Yes got them from Azmi last year when the shop was still at serangoon.
Bought 20 pcs and I think they are all still around, very greedy but timid.

Azmi, I told you they are either india and afrian barb right? This is it man.
Cant get a clear photo, the actual fish is even nicer.

So what do you want to trade for the orleng fish?

just kiddin, because I will not be able to catch them anyway.

Got nothing to offer you for such a nice and rare barb.. But i sure will be able to catch them in your tank!!! Keep them since they are happy there. Cheers!

This is my favourite barb; sleek and lean and yet small and streamline body.
I will see if I can take better picture and unload it here.

Since B. barilioides is now regarded as the junior synonym of B. fasciolatus, it is more appropriate to use B. fasciolatus instead.
