The rosy barb (Pethia conchonius) is a subtropical freshwater cyprinid fish found in southern Asia from Afghanistan to Bangladesh. This species of barb grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. Juveniles possess large, deeply forked tails, which are large in proportion to their body. Their colour becomes bolder during their mating periods. Males have more vibrant colours and females are slightly plumper. Also note that females do not have any black colour in their fins while males do. They may weigh up to 340 grams (12 oz) when fully grown but can weigh much less during adolescence. They are mature at 63.5 mm (2.50 in). In the wild their omnivorous diet consists of worms, insects, crustaceans, and plant matter. They have a lifespan of up to 5 years.
