Puntius conchonius (Hamilton 1822), the Rosy Barb. Often "juiced" with anabolic steroid solutions in the aquarium trade to bring out their vibrancy (albeit temporarily), the Rosy Barb is a good medium sized barb choice. To more than five inches in length in the wild. Males can be this gorgeous without "juicing" when in spawning condition. A hardy, undemanding aquarium species.

Puntius tetrazona (Bleeker 1855), the most common Tiger Barb in the aquarium trade in the west (there are other barbs with the same common name elsewhere), can be a real terror if mis-matched with long-finned, slow tankmates. Many tank-bred sport mutations of this species are produced. The wild type.
