A refined spectrum, selected for presence.
Blue Series
Neo heter is a slower-colouring variety, but it is well worth the wait. As the fish grows and matures, its entire body may gradually develop a deep and complete blue colour. It is a blue Mahseer that requires patience to raise and appreciate.
Blue Series
Neo Baoshan develops its colour relatively quickly and has a higher chance of showing colour extending over its back. It has a rounder body shape, with beautiful golden lines appearing along the sides of its body. The “BT Blue” commonly mentioned by hobbyists usually refers to Neo Baoshan with a special colour pattern. Its blue scales and golden side lines create a richer and more layered appearance.
Blue Series
Tor Mosal has a relatively round head shape, with a light reddish colour around the eyes and behind them. Its most recognisable feature is the clear black edging along the upper and lower parts of its tail fin. The body also carries a subtle bronze sheen, giving it a unique and elegant appearance among blue Mahseer.
Blue Series
Neo Thai has beautiful scales with a metallic shine and is one of the faster-colouring blue Mahseer varieties. It is affordable, and its colour changes can be seen relatively quickly as it grows. This makes it a beginner-friendly variety that offers excellent value for money.
Blue Series
Laos Blue is one of the most reliable varieties in terms of colour development. So far, I have not seen a large adult that completely failed to develop colour, making it a blue Mahseer that I highly recommend for collectors. Its blue colour may not always have a strong metallic shine. Instead, it often shows a subtle matte finish. A brownish-yellow line appears along the lateral line, which usually contains around 22–24 scales.
Blue Series
Neolissochilus Hexagonolepis is one of the rarest blue Mahseer varieties in the aquarium market. It has a powerful and rounded head shape. Its body combines dark green, blue and gold, with a deep horizontal stripe running along its side. The gill covers may appear golden yellow to greyish gold, showing rich layers of colour and shine under different lighting and viewing angles. It is a highly recognisable blue Mahseer with excellent collectible value.
Red Series
Kelah Merah Tembat is one of the most iconic collector-grade red Mahseer varieties. Large wild-caught specimens are especially rare. Once fully mature and completely coloured, the entire body may develop a bright and vivid red colour. This makes it one of the most valuable red Mahseer varieties in today’s aquarium market. Besides its impressive colour, it also has a relatively bold personality and interacts well with people. It is a premium red Mahseer that combines beauty, interaction and collectible value.

Red Series
Red Kachin is one of the fastest-colouring varieties among red Mahseer. From the dorsal, pectoral and pelvic fins to its large, deeply forked tail, every fin can develop a bright and pure red colour with very few unwanted colours. It has a relatively rounded head and can grow up to approximately 55cm. Once fully grown and coloured, it displays an even and rich red colour from head to tail, which is the most attractive feature of this variety.
Red Series
Tor Yinjiang is one of the Mahseer varieties that can grow to a large size. It has a long and streamlined body, together with a distinctive pointed head that curves slightly upwards. As its colour gradually develops, the upper half of its body may turn red or orange-red, while the tail fin becomes a vivid red. Its long body and rich, bright colours give it excellent ornamental appeal.
Red Series
Tor Sinensis is a medium-to-large Mahseer that is also known as “China’s Red Mahseer”. As its colour develops, the edges of its scales gradually turn red, while a clear black horizontal stripe appears along the side of its body. The red scale edges and dark stripe complement each other, creating greater depth and giving the fish a calm yet distinctive beauty.
Red Series
Phoenix Barb is a popular companion fish for Mahseer. It usually begins to develop colour after growing beyond 20cm. Its cheeks become bright red, with the colour extending towards the middle of its body. The larger it grows, the more impressive it looks. Based on my own experience, it is also a true “food lover”. It has a large appetite, competes actively for food and, of course, produces one of the highest amounts of waste in the tank. It is also said that this fish tastes very good when prepared as sashimi.
Orange / Gold
Hypselobarbus Jerdoni is a species from India. Its dorsal fin has a light black colour, while the fins along the lower body display a bright orange colour, creating a clear and distinctive contrast. As its colour develops, the body becomes bright silver with a subtle blue-green shine. Its silver-blue body and orange fins give it excellent recognition and ornamental appeal.
Orange / Gold
Neo Benasi is a golden Mahseer from China with reliable colour development. Under suitable care and water conditions, it will gradually display bright and attractive colours. Once fully coloured, the entire body becomes a brilliant golden yellow, with a thick black line running clearly along its side. The strong contrast between the dark stripe and golden scales makes it a highly recognisable golden Mahseer.
Orange / Gold
Neo Nigrovittatus is a stream fish from Myanmar, well known for the bold black stripe along the side of its body. Its base colour gradually changes from silver-grey to a light reddish tone, creating a clear contrast with the dark stripe. It has a gentle nature but is naturally shy. Environmental changes can easily cause stress and may even lead to a loss of appetite. Therefore, it requires a stable aquarium environment and more time to adapt.
Orange / Gold
Neo Nigrovitattus (Special orange) is a specially coloured form of the Myanmar Black-striped Gold Mahseer. Once fully grown and coloured, its body develops an extremely bright orange shade, often described by hobbyists as “Hermès Orange”. The vivid orange body and its signature dark stripe create a strong visual impact. This makes it a highly attractive and collectible special variety.
Orange / Gold
Tor Putitora is one of the larger Mahseer varieties. As its colour gradually develops, the entire body becomes a brilliant and rich golden yellow. Specimens with excellent colour development may also show green-shining scales extending across the back, creating greater depth and detail. Based on the colour of the tail fin, it can be divided into yellow-tail and red-tail forms, each with its own unique ornamental appeal.
Orange / Gold
Neolissochilus Sp. Meghalaya is a relatively rare variety in the aquarium market, with a limited wild population. It has a unique and subtle colour appearance. The upper half of its body is golden yellow, while the tail fin also carries a bright golden colour. As its colour develops, the edges of its scales show a light blue-green shine, adding richer colour layers and a unique texture to its golden body.
Orange / Gold
Tor Qiaojiensis has an elegant body shape and can grow to approximately 50cm. Its scales carry a fine metallic shine, its tail fin displays a vivid red colour, and its dorsal fin is covered by a dark fin membrane. Together, these features create a very distinctive colour contrast. As its colour develops, the body gradually becomes a bright orange-yellow. Under lighting, its colours appear even richer and more reflective, making it an elegant and highly attractive Mahseer.
Rare Series
African Rainbow has long been a dream fish for many Mahseer collectors. Its most iconic feature is the vivid combination of red and blue across its fins. It is said that individuals with longer dorsal fins have higher ornamental value. Once fully grown and coloured, the edges of the scales on the upper body gradually turn blue, creating a rich and striking appearance. African Rainbow is not only bold but also highly interactive. Because of its colourful and eye-catching appearance, hobbyists have jokingly nicknamed it the “African Shamate”.
Rare Series
Sri Lanka Mahseer is a beautifully coloured variety. A bright yellow colour extends from the gill covers all the way to the tail, creating a highly recognisable appearance. As it matures and develops its colour, the edges of the scales along its back show a blue-green shine, while the fins turn a rich purple-red. The combination of bright yellow, blue-green and purple-red creates a rich and distinctive appearance.
Rare Series
Hypselobarbus thomassi is a popular variety that has recently received a great deal of attention. Even during its juvenile stage, the fins along its lower body display a bright orange-red colour. As it grows and matures, the entire body gradually transforms into a unique and rich purple-red colour. Fully coloured adults are extremely rare. Their dreamlike colour and uncommon adult appearance give them outstanding ornamental and collectible value.
Rare Series
Yellow African Rainbow has a striking golden-yellow body and a long, flowing dorsal fin. Under lighting, the edges of its scales display a fine metallic shine. Together with its elegant yet powerful swimming style, it offers outstanding ornamental appeal. Its eyes also develop a clear red colour, creating a unique contrast with the golden-yellow body. As it is extremely rare in the market, it is a dream variety that I highly recommend and consider well worth collecting.
Rare Series
Sinilabeo Rendahli is known among hobbyists as China’s version of “Empurau” or “Qing Long Bang”. It can grow to approximately 35cm and is suitable for keeping together with Mahseer. Besides being an attractive companion fish, it also feeds on excess algae inside the aquarium. It adds variety to the tank while helping to keep it clean, making it both an attractive and practical companion fish.
