Red line Torpedo barb (Indian Flasher Barb)!! Wow, awesome fish!
I saw these at Big al's and I must say they are one of the best freshwater fish in my opinion, they get up to 6 inches and they were in a tank full of cardinals, and many other freshwater fish.
Their colours are *much* more vibrant than in that pic...so much so that I had to ask whether they were painted (they're not, by the way). --> http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_T...cellicauda.php --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puntius_denisonii --> http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_P..._denisonii.php   Video of them eating cucumber! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH-fIRwj38c

I seen panda barbs at Petsmart, which I thought were pretty cool.. Those bars look great, but with that price tag, I would pass on them

Yep, they are beautiful, expensive, and get large. I'd love to have a school if I had the money and a big enough tank.

A 75g would be a better minimum. They get around 6 inches, are schooling fish, so you'd want to have atleast 6.....6 6" fish swimming around could be tight in a 13" wide tank.

Well, I'm not ready for that. Plus they are $50 here, and I don't want to spend that much on a fish to see it die within a week.
