Does anyone know a scientific name for this barb? I'm not finding much info searching by the common name i've been given by a lfs.
Would apprciate any first hand stories anyone has for me with these fish too.

Thanks.

The panda barb male:Their facial and head area has grayish-black color,and from there they have a slight vibrant orange blush,which goes from the head to their upper mid-body to the tail.
The tail is also deep orange blush.
Females:Beige-tan colored body,And markings the same as the male of gray-black in her body.
She has the same length as the male but not as deep bodied.
Hope this helps
