Black Ruby Barb
The black ruby barb (''Pethia nigrofasciata'', formerly ''Puntius nigrofasciatus'') or purplehead barb is a tropical cyprinid fish endemism, endemic to Sri Lanka, where it occurs in forested streams from the Kelani River, Kelani basin to the Nilwala River, Nilwala basin. They are found in streams on hills around in elevation. The brightly colored population introduced to Mahaweli River, Mahaweli at Ginigathena, Sri Lanka, is said to have diminished in number due to the aquarium export trade. Description The young fish has a yellowish-gray body with black vertical stripes. The silver body turns into a dark ruby-red color in mature, breeding males. In the female, the basal part of all the vertical fins is black. In the male, the whole dorsal fin is a deep black, the anal fin blackish red, and the pelvic fins are purple. The fish will grow to a maximum length of with the female being slightly longer than the male. Water conditions Black ruby barbs natively live in a tro ...

Cyprinidae
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family, including the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives the barbs and barbels, among others. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family, and the largest vertebrate animal family overall, with about 1,780 species divided into 166 valid genera. Cyprinids range from about in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless, or ''agastric'', fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used to identify spec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
