Schistura denisonii
Red Line Torpedo Barb, Denison's Barb, Roseline Shark
Schistura denisonii is notable for its distinct red stripe running from the nose to the dorsal region. Despite being a popular aquarium fish, it is considered vulnerable in the wild due to overfishing and habitat loss. Aquarists should ensure they are obtained from sustainable sources.
These fish are active swimmers and require ample space with good water movement, simulating their natural riverine habitat. They thrive best in community tanks with similar-sized, non-aggressive species.
