Barilius bakeri

A stream-dwelling cyprinid endemic to the Western Ghats mountains of southwestern India, the Blue Spotted Hill Trout (Opsarius bakeri) is a peaceful, medium growing fish found in large shoals in the wild. They make an attractive dither fish for medium-sized peaceful fish or as centerpiece fish for a planted aquarium. They prefer well-oxygenated water and enjoy moderate to strong current in the aquarium, so the addition of one or more powerheads or circulation pumps is recommended.
