Puntius arulius A large active barb, hardy and easy to care for. Males develop a longer dorsal fin. Best kept with other robust species of similar size such as sharks, American cichlids and larger barbs. Native to India, grows to 10-12cm.
The Barb is an active, colourful and popular aquarium fish. They are easy to feed, taking a wide variety of foods including dried food.
Barbs will command your attention! They enjoy swimming all over the tank at a breakneck pace. Like many tropical fish, the male is generally more colourful, while the female is less colourful.
Barbs will school when in a group of at least five or six, and are less likely to bother other fish when in a group together. Many species are considered unsuitable in aquaria with slow-moving, long-finned tankmates.
