This fish was found near the lakeside of Tasik Aman when I was trying to capture a terrapin photo. It does not move a lot and stays at that place for quite a long time.
Distal of the 3rd digit is 1.8cm. All fishes were released back to their environment
Seen them alot of times, just don't know what kind of barb they are
They have pectoral and anal fins sided with yellow and bluish colour on the edge

Collected years ago
From Kerian river (?)
It had lots of small yellow spots on its back (not visible in the photo). About 25cm long, and in a shallow creek along with forest Betta.
The head was reddish-brown, and the pectoral fins had a sharp spine
Beautiful!
I gave it to a pair of girls who passed me by. They wanted to release it as part of a ritual or something, IDK
