What kind of (FW) fish is this?

They do like to live in groups...however 2 do NOT do well in a tank...too much picking on each other......beautiful fish though!

I have tried groups of 5 & 6 of this barb and always end up with one. Others seem to have luck in groups but in my 125g they would fight, I have 1 large now and he is beautiful.

Rosaline shark. Have one in our freshwater. When fed bloodworms, his red is gorgeous...Fun fish!!!

Found a whole bunch today on my LFS tripping. But didn't buy any. My FW tank needs a workover before I put any new fish in there. I might pick up a few after that which gives me time to save up for them. Wow, you guys aren't kidding when you said they're pricey.

How much are they over in Calgary? A vendor on BC Aquaria (pm me for name) can get them in regularly for around $12 each.

They were selling at $20 each at the one store that had them.

I remember when they first came out, they were going for $40+
