Odessa Barbs can look quite plain in a bare brightly lit aquarium. But once settled in a nicely planted aquarium, the males are quite gaudy with a vivid red stripe and black edged scales. Best kept in a small group, a lively and easy to keep species. Grows to about 7-8cm.

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.
