Tungkang

The Taiwan banded barb, Acrossocheilus paradoxus, is a cyprinid native to Taiwan, where it occurs throughout western and northeastern river drainages. It inhabits subtropical streams and small to medium rivers at medium to relatively high altitudes, and in the aquarium needs spotless, well-oxygenated water with moderate flow. Growing to around 200 mm SL, it needs a tank of at least 180 x 45 cm.
