The Hampala Barb (Hampala macrolepidota), also known as the Hampala Tiger Barb or Jungle Perch, is a striking, fast-swimming freshwater fish native to rivers and streams across Southeast Asia — particularly Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, and Cambodia. Known for its torpedo-shaped body, silver scales, and distinctive black mid-body stripe, this fish is both powerful and agile.

Hampala Barbs are *semi-aggressive predators* that should be housed in large tanks (minimum 400L) and with equally robust tank mates. Their speed and feeding response are impressive, making them a centerpiece in any large fish collection.
