Genus Puntius have a large number of species. Only smaller species ranging up to 5-6 Cm. viz. Puntius ticto, Puntius stigma etc. are known potential larvivorous fishes. But I wonder that these fish spp can be breed in aquariums, because these fishes breed only in rainy season and induced by rains and water currents etc. for breeding. Experiments may be taken up using pituitary gland injections for artificial breeding as applied for major carps breeding in captivity.
