Trophic Strategy
Inhabits lakes and streams. One of the hardiest of the barbs, undemanding and beautiful; most impressively colored during the mating period, when the normally silvery male takes on a rich claret flush and the slightly larger female becomes more luminous. Feeds on worms, crustaceans, insects and plant matter.
