There are plenty of places to gather info around the net. What is it that you are looking for? Most people arent going to just ramble off info about some particular fish but if you have specific questions we would more than happy to answer them.

right. they are from sri lanka, they grow to 2'' (5cm) (in a big tank), temp of 23-27 degrees celsius and are community fish...
Hang on. they are the basics. Heres a site for all info... lolz.
Cherry barb (Puntius titteya / Barbus titteya) with photo/picture

Except... Males are redish most of the time. they go darker red during breeding. Females are the brighter yellowy/orange/brown colour. both are there.

There are more sites. thats not the best. i'll find a better one.

I haven't noticed any strange behavior in mine. But I've only had them a couple months. One thing i can say is that I hardly ever see mine. They pretty much stay hidden. I see them at feeding time and that's about it. I find them pretty boring though they are very pretty. When u get to see them.
