Native Region:
Indonesia.
Temperament: Community. Peaceful and
extremely active. Will fin nip other fish like guppies or larger fish to chase.
Feeding:
Staple foods,
vegetable flakes, thawed adult brine shrimp, and live foods. However, vegetable matter is
heavy influence in diet in the wild.
Sexing:
Males
have brighter red in dorsal fins and more color generally. Females are larger and
have more width in the body.
General Comments: Best to have 3-4 individuals together in a tank.
The Tiger Barb is silver/gold with black
stripes and orange accented fins. They are a very lively, playful fish that
prefers to be in schools.
They prefer a well-planted tank of at least 30
gallons with soft, slightly acidic water. Rocks and driftwood can be added to
the aquarium, but leave plenty of space for swimming. The Tiger Barb is a very
active fish that may pester or even nip the fins of larger, slower moving fish.
The Tiger Barb needs to be fed a
variety of foods including vegetables as well as meaty foods. Feed a quality
flake food as well as live and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.

 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!
