Spanner barb

The Spanner barb, also known as the T-barb or Barbus lateristriga, is a freshwater fish characterized by its distinctive T-shaped marking on its body. It has a silver to golden body with a dark lateral line extending from head to tail, creating its namesake 'spanner' or 'T' shape. This fish is native to Southeast Asia, specifically in regions ranging from Thailand to Borneo. It has an elongated body and can grow up to 6 inches in length. While not the most popular species in the aquarium hobby, the Spanner barb is appreciated by some enthusiasts for its unique appearance and relatively peaceful temperament, making it a suitable candidate for community tanks with similarly sized and tempered species.
