I first started with 3 of these guys in my old 5 foot long 125 gallon tall. I also later put 2 in a 10 gallon tank before upgrading those to a 46 gallon bowfront a month later and adding 3 more. 2 of the 3 roselines in my 125 died during an ammonia outbreak which left one of those roselines alone for a couple months. Once things stabilized in the 125, I didn’t feel like buying more (they’re not cheap) so I grabbed the 5 out of my 46 gallon and put them into the 125 to join the lone large one. Been keeping them in schools of at least 5 ever since.
I love these guys. I have 5 in a 135 gallon currently but one has been terrorizing all of the other ones. My largest one is 5 1/2 inches but I’ve had a couple 6 inchers before.
I have been keeping a school of these guys in my 180gallon high flow "pseudo-hillstream" planted tank. This video is very interesting and as an "experienced" aqua culture hobbyist / fish nerd but not expert or anywhere near(although I am perusing a degree in biology so many one day haha!) Just wanted to thank you and let you know that your research / fact collecting and the subsequent put together in this video is really in depth but in a very digestible and approachable way!! I'm curious as to your background ! Have you ever done any schooling in biology or are you just a very well versed and well research hobbyist? I know for a lot of experienced and expert people that those 2 may eventually coincide - albeit the hobbyist into "expert" that is acknowledge by academia or directly involved with research is much more rare of a case than the kid who loved seeing the fish tank in the biology class or going to an aquarium perusing a degree in fish. Also from the looks of your tank, you definitely enjoy a more natural look but do you theme any specific way or do you just take home what fish and plants you know can work together and just enjoy?
Let me start by saying that was the nicest compliment I have ever gotten. My background starts in 1972 with my first tank. There was no internet so I read a lot of books some of which were pretty damn good and taught me a lot. The tank in this video was simply a grow out tank for them and if you want to see them now go to my channel and look at the latest video " i year update on the filament barbs". I have moved my denison barbs to a 6 foot tank with dawkinsia that are found with them in the wild. Oh and I am no expert.
First things first you telling about the background and history a out the fish in detail is what makes you special and different from other fish CZcams channels, so yeah don't apologise that much, Infact the only reason why i am subscribing to you channel after this video is because I am expecting more details and research done by you to tell the history and details about the fish hope you get it and continue ❤
Awesome informarion , a complete dicctionary about the fish and the biology a lot of information , today July 2021 y recived my first 10 roselines , my tank 6 ' 10 " is ocuped by 20 juvenile pundamilias Nyererei , maybe i try buy a bigger 10 ' in a few weeks , well thanks and good job !!!!
I have 5 denisons in my 4ft tank for 3 years. They look cool but I find them to be skittish when I am moving close to the aquarium. if I am cleaning in the tank they can dart and sometimes hit the glass so I hate doing tank maintenance. But if I am standing away from the tank they are fine. I will be getting some calmer fish to hopefully make the barbs feel secure as they are the only fish in my tank at the moment. But after my experience I do not want anymore of these fish unless I have a 6ft+ tank
Pronounced as Sah -ya- dri , sahyadri mountain range after which the genus has been named . Great video otherwise , I've seen a few specimens in the wild , along with , melon Barb's , rasbora's.rocky ,or pebbly substrate would be a great natural biotype .
my dad got 3 denison barbs, and i later got 3 cardinal and 3 emperor tetras, to school with some of my neons that were being picked off, and the emperors schooled with the denison barbs instead! I read emperors were peaceful fish who like to float, but in my tank they love swimming really fast along with those big bastards
On food: they really like small pellets as well as frozen food like bloodworms, but if I feed my red fin sharks broccoli, they also come nibbling on those, even green peas.
Hi I went to a LFS and saw a fish that looks like this it was the only one in the tank. The name on the glass was torpedo barb, have you ever heard it being called this. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks
@@TerryL263 Hi again as there was only one in the tank would it be wrong to buy it, as you say they should be in a shoal. I just felt sorry for it. Thanks
These fishes are called 'Miss Kerala', in Kerala. Since this is now bred in captivity, the fish population is sure to stabilize itself in the next decade.
did you have a community tank for your roseline shark? what kind of species did you have in your tank..apparently every shop i walk in doesn't advice to keep them with tetra or other small fish..huhu
I'm from the area where this fish is found. Its still in endangered list and we cannot find any in the local streams and lakes (which we are blessed with). Check out Kerala. Sahyadri kinda sounds like this SEYHHAY AHDRIY
Thanks for the info..now I have a square shape tank which is 20 gallons. I wonder whether I can keep Dennison barbs. I want to keep at least 4 with other fish like guppys, tetras, platies and mollies.
I just bought them unexpected visiting an aquarium...,the only thing I know was keeping them in groups will make them happy.. So I bought all remaining 7 together... Now they are shoaling with my parrot cichlids....
Three foot tank is way too small. I keep a small school in a five foot tank and now as they have grown to 5 inches I am thinking of selling them to someone with a bigger tank. But they will stay for a while more until they get even bigger.
Wonderful video, I've never seen a tank with so many of them. Great information!
I miss my Denison barbs, they are super cool! Thanks so much for the info and for sharing this video!
Thank you for watching.
Great video! Deserve more viewers. 👊
Excellent footage and thanks for the inside info !! ✌💕😍
Thanks for watching.
Cool video! Just subbed! Looking forward to more great videos!

Great video! I want to have a nice school of them like you do! 😁 Cheers bro!
You did some solid research on them. 👍
nice to see you are back boss

Keep up the good work. I find that what you say is true and based on actual fishkeeping.
Thanks
Good Video! I have a dozen of them in my 100 gal tank. Great fish just a tad bit aggressive. keep your tank COVERED. they jump out like crazy!!
👍
New sub here from the live stream!!! Love the fish I need those!!!

Good advice on bargaining by buying the lot. I did the same and we settled on a good price for a school of eleven.

Sah yiaa dhri ( I'm from kerala. There was a lot of this barb in our sahyadri .. and in our chalakkudi river... It's gone now
It is sad to know they are gone from wild places.
🙂
Can I get a list of what you have in that tank? Looks awesome.
threadfin rainbows, emperor tetras, brilliant rasboras, het rasboras, peocock godgeon, and dwarf peticola.
@@TerryL263 emperor tetras, brilliant rasboras, dwarf peticola.
and maybe the denisons. But I will need to get the 125 up for them boyz.
How do these fish get along with Severums?
On food: they really like small pellets as well as frozen food like bloodworms, but if I feed my red fin sharks broccoli, they also come nibbling on those, even green peas.
Minimum 6 is recommended! Beautiful fish from my country India.

Not sure why a shop would say that. They are pretty chill for barbs.
This fis does get very big ive seen one atleast 7in
I have one that size can confirm seen 8-10 inch ones in a huge display tank in a shopping center
My in the tank is 12 year, any one know how long they can live
I’ve kept denison barbs with tiny white clouds with no trouble at all
Is it okay to keep 3 in a 40 gallon tank?
probably
Elegant fish . Jumps it ? Thank you
yes the can be jumpers a lid is recommended.
Will 3 Roseline sharks,3 clown loaches ,and 6 tiger barbs in a 75 gallon?
That more than enough room=]
Just buy a filter that does 90 or 80 double filtration. It will help and do weekly 30 percent water changes every week.
Pooooooooooooop

10-11 hours of light
Did I hear you say you keep the Denisons with Threadfin Rainbows? Don't the Threadfins get out competed for food?
I really didn't find that to be a problem.

Check your water peramiters
They're stressed. It's could be the water, lighting, sound or even any rf equipment closeby.
Its our native fish.. and its illegal here to catch and kept them in tanks
Just bought 7 of them today in Tamilnadu...
I just got 2
