{"product_id":"banded-trout","title":"Banded Trout","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you like Danios you will love \u003cem\u003eOpsarius\u003c\/em\u003e! They are lively, very elegant swimmers, more similar in behavior and appearance to trout than to other danios. As a popular collective name for the group, which includes the genera \u003cem\u003eOpsarius, Barilius, Raiamas\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOpsariichthys\u003c\/em\u003e with a total of about 70 species in Asia and Africa, “Trout danios” fits very well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also the case with \u003cem\u003eOpsarius barna\u003c\/em\u003e, which was already scientifically described in 1822 and is now and then classified in the genus \u003cem\u003eBarilius\u003c\/em\u003e. Currently, however, the up to 15 cm long danio is classified in the genus \u003cem\u003eOpsarius\u003c\/em\u003e. In fact this is not only an academic question, because it has been shown in aquaristic practice that \u003cem\u003eOpsarius\u003c\/em\u003e species are much more compatible than \u003cem\u003eBarilius\u003c\/em\u003e species. In the case of \u003cem\u003eBarilius\u003c\/em\u003e – according to practical experience – it is necessary to keep as many animals as possible (preferably 10 or more) in aquariums as large as possible with strong currents, so that intra-species aggression is kept within limits, while \u003cem\u003eOpsarius\u003c\/em\u003e are also well tolerated in smaller groups (from 5 specimens) in normal sized aquariums (10x the body length with appropriate width and height) and aquarium-standard currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOpsarius barna\u003c\/em\u003e is found along the foot of the Himalayas and is widely distributed. Accordingly, the adaptability is good. However, these subtropical fish should not be kept year in and year out at constantly high temperatures. 16-20°C in winter and 24-26° in summer (a few degrees above or below will not hurt, but should not last for long periods) are just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEaten is dry, frozen and live food of suitable size, vegetable food does not interest \u003cem\u003eO. barna\u003c\/em\u003e. Males grow slightly larger than females and appear more high-backed. We know nothing about breeding \u003cem\u003eOpsarius\u003c\/em\u003e in the aquarium; the closely related \u003cem\u003eBarilius\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRaiamas\u003c\/em\u003e species are bottom spawners, depositing their spawn in sand and gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best4Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43238800851033,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/9814\/5587\/files\/banded.trout.www.best4pets.in.jpg?v=1776685072","url":"https:\/\/www.best4pets.in\/products\/banded-trout","provider":"Best4Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
