Puntius sophore is a small freshwater fish up to 10 centimeters long. It has a silvery body and characteristic dark spots on the dorsal and caudal fins.
The pool barb differs from related species by noticeable black spots on the fins. This fish is important for nature because it serves as food for predators and helps control the amount of algae in water bodies.
Collects food with its mouth from the surface of plants, bottom, and water.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
