Hi Emma, just looking on that loach tank gallery and on your's gallery photo number 126 what are the fish behind clown loaches, they have the greeny bodies with the red and black tipped tail.

For Emma Turner's eyes only? (I'm in Bond mode)

Emma's on holiday in Jamaica, so here's what they are...

Puntius filamentosus is the fish in question. On the right. (one of mine)

Confused I am, Master Yoda!

Yes Dave, Graeme is correct. They are some of my (very greedy) Puntius filamentosus:

aaayy.....

Dang Maidenhead with their super nice fish... I wanted the filamentosa barbs awhile back... none to be had... but of course, nice ones are available a short 3000 km skip away

I believe the fish on the left or right depending on which photo you want to go by is what looks like a very very good quality Barbus/Puntius (whatever those 'i have nothing better to do but screw with your knowledge of latin names' people are calling it today) Arulius. The other fish, also pictured en masse @ Maidenhead is Puntius/Barbus Filamentosa

Here's an Arulius on display at my local zoo.

Sexey...

The fish Now on the right is the Puntius tambraparniei.

Open other end. The fish, being a living organism is subject to movement. Management reserves the right to allow the fish to move and can not accept responsibility for such change of positional status. Your mileage may vary. Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear. Open other end.

Two nice fish, fish nice too.

no uncertainty left at all, then.

What!!!!!!!

But yeah both of those fish are stunning and i've never seen them in the flesh around my area anyway. Most of my LFS only have the common fish that everybody has and they never have anything out of their comfort zone(which is pain). I have to travel to be able to get fish like that.
