Round Banded Barb

Facts and Information

round banded barb

More commonly referred to as the Snakeskin Barb, the Round-Banded Barb inhabits peat swamps and blackwater streams. This species can be found throughout the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo, though it is most heavily concentrated in the southern part of the island. Round-Banded Barbs can be identified by the dark vertical bars that mark their flanks. Unlike other Barbs, the stripes on Round-Banded Barbs split to form diamond-like shapes which give the flanks of these fish the appearance of snakeskin.
