Tiger Barb

The Tiger Barb comes in a few different colors, black, green and albino. This fish does best when kept in a group of about eight or more. If you keep just one or two in your fish tank they will pick on all of the other fish. Maybe even tear them up a bit. When there is a group, they will establish their own dominance order and will leave the other aquarium fish alone, for the most part. Make sure to have good water filtration in your tank and carry out regular maintenance.

 

Tiger Barb Breeding: Place the parents in a breeding aquarium with plenty of plants. After spawning remove the parents and feed the newly hatched fish regularly.
