More info

A somewhat larger barb reaching sizes of approximately 5-6 inches, rosy barbs are noted for their preference to lower temperatures than other tropical fish; with temperatures of between 18-22 degrees recommended.

They can be sexed by their body and fins, males are slightly lighter in colour with black in their fins; females are plumper, have clear fins and can be slightly darker.

Aim to keep them in groups of 6 or more to reduce aggression and fin nipping; this will help them to also direct their energy toward their own group in community aquaria.

They are very hardy and undemanding, accepting a wide variety of foods; as with all fish, aim to provide regular fresh water changes for best health.
