Comments
Nice looking barb with nice colorations. This fish is fairly agressive, and cannot be mixed with any kind of tetra or rasborra. Barbs can only be put with other barbs as well as some other species such as gouramies. 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). The Temperature of the water should be anywhere from 68-76.
