Esomus caudiocellatus
Indian Flying Barb, Spotted Flying Barb, Indian Barbel Rasbora
Esomus caudiocellatus are active, schooling fish, requiring ample space to swim. They are recognizable by their elongated bodies and distinctive caudal spot. Displaying iridescent scales, they can be a stunning addition to a community tank, provided tank mates are non-aggressive and of similar size. As a species often found near the surface, they benefit from a covered tank to prevent jumping. Regular water changes and proper filtration are essential to mimic their fast-flowing river habitats.
