| − | :Asia: West and Central Kalimantan in Borneo, Indonesia. | + | |sexing=:Males tend to be more slender and colourful than females. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:''Puntius rhomboocellatus'' works well with other [[Barb]]s and [[Rasbora]]s, as well as small, peaceful [[Loaches]] and [[Gourami]]s. They should be kept in groups of at least 5. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Reportedly they are not fond of flake foods, however this is changing over time as generations are tank reared. Their preference is live or frozen food such as [[bloodworm]]s and [[daphnia]] or mosquito larvae. | |

| − | :Males tend to be more slender and colourful than females. | + | |environment_specifics=:''P. rhomboocellatus'' thrives in soft, slightly acidic water, preferably with peat filtration. A dark substrate and subdued lighting (from floating plants) best shows their delicate colours. Complete the tank with plants, rocks and driftwood, leaving an open area in the middle for swimming. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:''Puntius rhomboocellatus'' is an active, peaceful shoaling (schooling) fish that is a blast to watch. However, they will become timid with boisterous fish. | |
| − | + | |identification=:This fish is very similar to the [[Puntius pentazona|Five-Banded Barb]], however, ''P. rhomboocellatus'' stripes are wider and more random, giving them the "snakeskin" appearance. | |
