Heard Of This Fish

[tony2501]

Was in my lfs yesterday, and saw some gold neon barbs, google search dosen't bring up any info on these, anyone know anything about them.

They are gold (obviously) neon shaped, ones in the shop were about the same size of full grown neons

Probably some kind of color-deficient version of regular Neons. Not quite albino. It's called Luemostic or something.

Thanks, if I remember correctly they look like this:

I may get some now I know what I'm looking at, they would look stunning against the black background of my tank.

Time to groval up to the girlfriend, she's off work tomorrow and can go to the lfs for me.

gold neon barbs are a man made colour morph of the golden barb
Puntius or Barbus semifasciolatus
