Would emperor tetras count? Sort of inbetween in body shape but the males shown some impressive finnage as they mature.
My columbian tetras are also quite impressive.

I had no idea. The only cherry barbs are in tanks around the world. Suddenly feel a weight of responsibility to look after mine that wasn't there before.The poor old cherry barb deserves a lot more love. The females have lovely round bodies and the males go deep red. They are extinct in the wild I

Even though this information can be found on the internet, up until now I didnt know about the cherry barbs either, same as others, so perhaps it would have some value to have a list of endangered popular species to help us choose our fish more responsibly? Can we perhaps get a thread with popular species we ought to avoid/check if they are bred in captivity?Unfortunately cherry barbs aren't on their own in that respect. Over exploitation of wild populations is all too common. It's exactly the same in the plant world.
Very intelligent suggestion. Great point.Even though this information can be found on the internet, up until now I didn't know about the cherry barbs either, same as others, so perhaps it would have some value to have a list of endangered popular species to help us choose our fish more responsibly?

Oddly I'm planning to get some! Prehaps some spotted blue eyes as well! If I manage to find some locally I'll pop some photos up.Iriatherina werneri The Threadfin Rainbowfish would be something different and when they display look large bodied
Very active mid and upper water species

As a fashion designer I'm LOVING the colour mixing of fish in your tank! The kribs already look fantastic with the barbs, threadfins as well would look great.Oddly I'm planning to get some! Prehaps some spotted blue eyes as well! If I manage to find some locally I'll pop some photos up.
