These fish are found at the Himalayan foot hills, tolerating a wide range of hard climates. Living in fast flowing rivers. Anglers travel from around the world to come and find these fish. They're protected locally, catch and release only. Adults can reach up to 70 pounds, making them a once in a life time catch with breathtaking scenary as the back drop.
In the aquarium, they're highly predatory for a cyprinid., will eagerly consume pellets, small fish and occasionally some fruits. If new fish are introduced into the group, they will investigate them, and then kill them. The specimen you're looking at is 50 cm, at 4 years of age, imported from India.
