Twinbar Tinfoil Barbs - Barbonymus schwanefeldii

[eklikewhoa]

Has anyone seen any of these available around town? I know several places have the regular tinfoil barbs but looking for the twinbar ones.

pictured here

Supposedly these things actually eat poop and the twinbar tail looks cooler and outside the norm of regular fish.

I think I have seen them at fish and pets unlimited

[eklikewhoa]

[Ballinxalex]

Might be wrong not sure but u could always call to make sure ask for pat to be sure

They eat poop?

[eklikewhoa]

yep

[sunkenmetal]

yep

Interesting... Ive only seen ramshorns actually eat poop

[eklikewhoa]

All the asian forums and mfk folks say they do... gonna try and find one and see for myself.

I'm thinking its just a fish lowering its standards and trying to survive cause they don't get fed but who knows.

Let me know if you find some. They would be a good fit for my tank

[eklikewhoa]

Yeah, peterpanda wanted some too.

I might just give up on the idea and just try and convince truong to sell me the remaining 4 ERH in his display tank.
