Dawkinsia rohani

A large-growing, colorful barb found in Southern India, Rohan’s Tearspot Barb inhabits clear water streams and rivers with moderate to fast flow. A shoaling fish, they are typically found in large aggregations in the wild and should be kept in groups of at least 5 fish in the aquarium. Both sexes will show impressive red coloration as mature adults, but males will also develop elaborate dorsal filaments and vivid red dorsal fins. A fast-moving and aggressive feeder, they should be kept with equally large and active tankmates in the aquarium.
