The males look stunning! The females look like the males you can buy at the pet store!
I've got a batch of 100 of these guys babies I'm growing out for a friend. Super awesome fish, and a great first egg scatterer to try breeding!
I really had to crank the lights to be able to get a photo with a short enough exposure for them to not blur, but they turned out great.

For those interested, Greg has an extremely detailed article on how to breed these guys. His method is a little more hardcore than I prefer, so I made a few files you can print if you have a 3d printer to help the parents not eat the eggs as they scatter them. Basically an ezmode that will net you around 100 babies in a 10 gallon instead of the 600+ Greg gets when he spawns them.

I’m very interested in these fish. I want to a mid-size aquarium with a school of them and glowlight danio, with panda garra
Barbs are the coolest of all the freshwater fish. I’ll die on that hill.
right now I have a flex 32 setup with chili rasbora, pygmy cory, boreno loach, blue neon stiphodon goby, otocinclus, amano and neocaridina shrimp. what size of tank would you suggest to have a fairly large school of odessa barb and the glowlight danio?
