The genus Tanba is the largest individual species in the family Cyprinidae , and they can usually grow up to 20 cm , the most representative of which is the striped red dragon. Because the morphology and habits of this fish are very close to some species of the family Ofronaceae, early people mistakenly believed that it was a Fish of the Dragon, so they were given the name of "Dragon". Striped red dragons have a large distribution in the Indian Ocean region, China's South China Sea can catch a lot of fish every year, they are inexpensive in the ornamental fish trade, not sold well.
Striped red dragons have a strong sense of territory, and they will have fierce battles with each other, and it is best to keep only one. They are fierce and like to prey on small fish, and cannot be kept with small ornamental fish. In captivity, many individuals have fading problems, and it only takes a few months for the bright red color of these fish to turn white. Therefore, they are not favored, even if they are cheap, even if they are easy to raise. As a result, some individuals fell into seafood markets, and in some southern cities, the fish was listed as marine trash fish for sale.
