Best kept in a planted aquarium with dark gravel, when settled males will then start to show their full colour. A peaceful community fish which prefers to be in a school. Native to Sri Lanka, males grow to about 6cm, females remain smaller.

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 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.
