The pelvic, butt-centric, and caudal balances are red, however not the dorsal balance. Other normal names it is known by incorporate Red Tail Tinfoil Barb and Tall Barb.

There are as of now 5 portrayed species in the Barbonymus family, and these fish are now and again all things considered called Tinfoil Barbs, which can make a touch of perplexity.

They can likewise be kept with a portion of the more tolerant cichlids. An aquarium most appropriate to this fish is huge and large with thick plantings along the edges.
