This fish has an amazing forehead! coolbig

It looks like a part of its head was lost in a shooting accident I think we can see what are called tubercles on it, which is a sign usually that it is a male. Seen in many cyprinids like goldfish and barbs. I think garra are related to them,.....

Yes guys, it is an interesting fish. Although it looks evil, it is very peaceful with the barbs. It maybe related to Carps and Barbs, I don't know yet. THe barbels on its forehead are hard.. like a stone.

Cheers,
