Pethia is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to South Asia, East Asia (only Pethia stoliczkana recorded) and Mainland Southeast Asia.

Pethia nigrofasciata, formerly Puntius nigrofasciatus, is a tropical cyprinid fish endemic  to Sri Lanka. The fish has commercial importance in the aquarium hobby, and is successfully bred in captivity.

Plenty of room should be provided for this fish, with plenty of light and a shallow covering of floating plants and ample vegetation (half to two-thirds of the tank area). 

This species is good for keeping with other barbs and similar fish. In captivity, the fish are omnivorous, with a healthy appetite.

The black ruby barb is an active swimmer that is best kept in schools of at least six. Source Wikipedia

Metynnis is a genus of serrasalmid fish from tropical and subtropical South America.

They are herbivorous or omnivorous,  and inhabit a wide range of freshwater habitats, ranging from rivers and streams (both fast- and slow-flowing), to floodplains, flooded forest, lakes, pools and reservoirs.They generally reach 8–15 cm (3–6 in) in standard lenght although a few species may reach up to 18 cm (7 in). 

The genus contains many of the species known as Silver Dollar in the aquarium trade.

This beautiful fish, a serrasalmid and thus a relative of piranhas a pacus, is still enigmatic for scientists. The species Metynnis fasciatus has been described on the basis of a young fish from Brazil (Rio Capiru). The type specimen is regarded as lost. The species is identical with M. hypsauchen in all respects exept the coloration in young specimens. In M. fasciatus a pattern of regular and bold stripes exist which is lacking usually in M. hypsauchen. Until now no adult specimens with a regular stripe pattern is known to scientists and it was thought that M. fasciatus represents only a rare juvenile phase of M. hypsauchen.

Ideal for community fish tank. They love to swim in shoals, so they look great in small groups. (4-6)
