Cyclocheilichthys lagleri

Cyclocheilichthys lagleri, or Lagler's Barb, is a freshwater fish marked by its elongated body and characteristic silver sheen. - **Social Behavior:** Generally peaceful and tends to form schools, making it ideal for community tanks with similarly sized and non-aggressive species. - **Diet:** Omnivorous in nature, thriving on a varied diet of flake foods, live feeds like daphnia, and plant matter. - **Decor & Environment:** Prefers a well-decorated tank with driftwood, submerged vegetation, and open swimming areas. Ensure the tank is tightly covered as this species can be quite active and prone to jumping. - **Breeding:** Requires specific conditions such as the rainy season simulation for breeding engagements. Observations suggest a proclivity for using vegetation as spawning medium. Given its size and activity level, it's recommended to house Cyclocheilichthys lagleri in tanks that offer ample space and hiding spots.
