I visited the Vancouver Aquarium today with my family. In the amphibian section there was a tank that (apparently, I didn't see them) contained a Hong Kong Warty Newts. What did catch my attention were black barbs. In shape the were identical to Odessa Barbs, but the bodies were all black, and the fins were a dark red edged with black.
I went by the tank twice and should have taken a picture, but was too busy keeping track of my 4 year old. Of course there was no label to make it easy. I've flipped through 4 different fish atlases this evening and seen nothing even close. I'm thinking it is either something new to the hobby, or more likely a farmed color variation of one of the common barbs.
Anybody know for sure what it is?
