Where The Wild Things Are
Anyone have them on here? please post a few pics of them please! do they go by another name? i searched for info on them but couldnt find any. All i know is they get rather big. I was thinking of getting a couple. :D
 
Chalceus erythrurus? Chalceus macrolepidota?
 
I'm thinking the chalceus.
 
I had one of them, it was listed as a red-tail chalceus. It jumped right out of the tank, with the glass top closed. He buddied up with my chalceus. I think it must be in the barb family.
 
the link asianredtailcatfish posted is of a barb isn't that a hampala barb ?
 
Sounds like a red tailed chalceus as mentioned further up. The dot behind the gills would sometimes tunr into a stripe depending on mood.

They don't have a black stripe though.

Here are my 2 species mentioned above, together:
