This looks like atukorali. The brittani colouration along the dorsal fin is not as bright.

Err~!
Andrew actually said all in India are H.brittani and only ones of Srilanka are the H.atukorali

So what all we got earlier were misnamed and without confusion all ours are theH.brittani

My friend caught these in Kerala and we distributed among hobbyists in Bangalore. I have 16 now.

They're tight schoolers and avid eaters.

A shot for Romi, their size with respect to the tank, its not a very good shot but atleast something to show the scale. The tank is about 15x12x12 and those are fully grown horaandias(not sure whether atukorali/brittani).
I had some 20+horadandias and 15 chelas in this setup. A lively setup it was.

This is a close-up of the little swarm.

And piggy eaters like how Navneet mentioned it ;) gorging on wafers.

Astonishing! Many thanks Hamza. :) so many years of ogling at natives but I always end up with my eyes electrified.... One reason must be that being wild caught they suffer no inbreeding...
