    Saw this on one of MJ's videos (specifically, it was in one of the ADA gallery tanks). I'd judge the size to be about 5cm-7cm)

    I MUST HAVE IT.

    Thanks!

    I visited Art of Aqua today for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised with their product range for scaped tanks. They had a wide variety of nano fish, one more beautiful than the other. Started rethinking my live stock choices for my tanks. Only one problem, trying to convince the misses that some more changes are needed wont be an easy task at all.

    More commonly known as Torpedo barbs. There's a gold form of it also.

    I bought a few young ones and grew them out, they were about 120mm when i lost my tank. All died in one night. Could not find them for sale again after that time. Always looking, sure i will find them again.

    The Denison Barb is commonly known by many other names, including:

    • Red comet barb
    • Denison’s barb
    • Redline barb
    • Redlined torpedo fish
    • Roseline shark
    • Denison’s flying fox
    • Bleeding eye barb
    • Torpedo barb
    • Miss Kerala

    I see 4mfish has it advertised on their site, I'm just waiting for confirmation that they received their plant delivery yesterday, will check if they have them in stock.

    I checked with Turf Pets and they have stock. I've decided against them though, the adults are a little bit too big for my tank.

    I really like the yellow spots on the tail fins but way too big for some of the fish in my tank.
