CHECKERED BARB (Capoeta oligolepsis)

Generally very peaceful making it an ideal resident of the well-researched community aquarium.

It is a schooling species by nature, and at least 6-10 specimens should be purchased. Maintaining it in such numbers will not only make the fish less skittish but result in a more effective, natural looking display, and males will develop better colours in the presence of conspecific rivals.
