Barilius bendelisis

Barilius bendelisis are active swimmers and require plenty of open space mixed with areas of water current to mimic their natural environment. They are peaceful but fast-moving, and thrive in well-oxygenated, clean water. It's essential to provide a covered tank to prevent jumping. Their diet should consist of insect larvae, small crustaceans, and other protein-rich foods to simulate their omnivorous dietary requirements.
