That is the one Mahseer, big bugger, I wonder why it is not as popular as other big cats.

They definitely deserve more attention. They are very pretty and peaceful, at least mine is.

They are found up north in china, cold water tolerant, I've collected this fish myself in the past, very rare in the hobby, aquarium glasser in germany had a few sometime back, as a new import. Here are a few pictures of mine that I had, the males were really pretty, too bad I don't have them anymore, and Masheer, they're not monsters!!!!

Guess this one, and I'm looking for supporting data and pictures to go along with it. There are a dozen or so species in this group/genus of fish, mostly found in Africa, please submit, and guess, winner can have next round :) Happy playing
