Also called the Ticto Barb and the Twospot Barb, Tic-Tac-Toe Barbs are silver and gold in coloration. The characteristic black spots for which these fish are named appear near the back fin and above the pectoral fins. These fish have a large habitat range – they have been found in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Laos and southern China. Tic-Tac-Toe Barbs live in shallow lakes, ponds and rivers where the water is calm and the substrate is mud or silt.
