Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora)

$34.99

The Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora) is one of the large cyprinids from Asia collectively known as ‘Mahseer’ – most of which are prized food fish in their native habitats. Their large, iridescent scales and peaceful behavior in the aquarium have led some to compare them to tropical versions of koi. Although hardy and adaptable, they will do best in clean, well-oxygenated water with moderate current. They should only be kept in the largest aquariums or ponds.
