Denison Barb
Roseline Sharks are large, showy, schooling fish that are a great choice for freshwater community aquariums over 75 gallons and should be kept in groups of at least 6. One distinguishing feature of this family is the lack of an adipose fin (a boneless fin found between the dorsal fin and the caudal or tail fin). A streamlined fish reaching at least five inches in captivity, the Roseline Shark is easily recognized with its shiny silver body. In the wild, they live in fast moving, highly oxygenated, mountain streams where they live in rocky pools. Decor can vary, including planted aquariums or a more natural habitat consisting of some stones and larger rocks for them to rest behind. Denison barbs are not difficult to feed and mostly eat small invertebrates and some plant matter in the wild. A balanced and varied diet of live or frozen small meaty foods (bloodworms, blackworms, brine shrimp etc.) along with some quality pellets or flakes will lead to your fish being their healthiest.
