Anyone keep Mahseer?

[FishyAmazon]

I got some too.
The humpbacks are everywhere in LFS here at less than 10 dollars a piece. The Blue, Red and Gold remians the most ex of the lot and the rarest. I'm the proud owner of all the mentioned species.

Here's some to make you drool:

Seems like you are also into barbs. Why dont you also try red-tailed barbs? They are not that frequently available too.

"they are amazing i want some! where can i get some."

They are very few and far between in the UK - especially the more unusual species - occasionally they pop up on availability lists - usually from malaysia or singapore - many species are restricted - so no humpback mahseer in the UK - darn

I only know of one or two other keepers in the UK.

Those look more than a little like what I thought Tor khudree looks like - same hump, shorter body than T. mussullah. I have what are id'ed as T. mussullah and they have considerably longer bodies than those fish pictured.

 

[rclark12]

are those fish pictured in the shiner family, or carp family? look a bit similar
