This Barb should
have a light colored, usually tan, body with a dark spot at
mid-body and one at the base of the caudal fin. With age this
fish may develop a red tint all over or a defined red stripe.
Plants must be used for cover. Keep them in groups of 3 or more.
Leave decorations towards the edges of the tank to allow for
good swimming area. Don't keep with aggressive fish. They are
somewhat tolerant of semi-aggressive fish but do best with their
own kind. The water should be neutral in pH. Some current, though
slight, would be beneficial.
Feed typical foods like flakes, frozen, pellets, and small
live.
Breeding and sexing are not known. |
