Snakeskin Barb (Desmopuntius rhomboocellatus)

Snakeskin Barb (Desmopuntius rhomboocellatus) is a beautiful, peaceful and relatively calm schooling fish, well suited to a well-established community or planted aquarium. It reaches approximately 5-6 cm. It is distinguished by its warm golden-orange coloration and characteristic dark diamond-shaped markings along the body, which give it a very attractive appearance. It does best in a group of at least 8-10 individuals, in an aquarium with plants, hiding places, subdued lighting and peaceful tank mates of a similar size.
