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). As adults they developpe a very nice red flame that starts from their eye to the back of their tails. They also have nice black patters on their fins. The Temperature of the water should be anywhere from 68-76.
