  Poropuntius (family Cyprinidae) is a genus which is common in South East Asia with a few dozens species. The taxonomy of this genus has not been concluded yet and identifications are rather difficult. I've tried water-based acryclic color recently and below are drawings of 3 Poporuntius species by acrylic on paper. Sizes of drawings are about 24-25 cm. Apart from the first one I'm pretty sure it is P. normani , the other 2 I'm not sure about their species. The last drawing I used  the model which is a flashed photo. The color of the fish is more vibrant and I even increased it more while drawing. The fish is not that colorful in real life. :-)
