Red Torpedo Barb (Cyprinidae Sahyadria) 6cm 

Red Torpedo Barbs are characterized by a torpedo-shaped body with silver scales, a red line running from their snout, through the eye, back towards the middle of the body; and below the red line, a black line that runs the length of the fish to the tail.

As they mature, a distinctive green/blue marking on top of the head develops. Red Torpedo Barbs can reach a length of 15 centimeters (6 inches) but typically will only reach 9–11 centimeters (3.5–4.3 inches)
