Comments
Nice looking barb with nice colorations. This fish is fairly agressive, and will eat any small fish that is around them. They are easy to take care of and love to eat frozen food such as bloodworms, tubifex worms and brineshrimp (not as a staple diet). They get big very quickly and have big appetites.
