Rosy Barb
Pethia conchonius
Rosy barbs inhabit warm ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams with abundant aquatic vegetation. They are active omnivores, feeding on algae, plant matter, small insects, and crustaceans. Males develop a particularly rosy red breeding coloration and display their fins during courtship and rivalry.
