Longfin Rosy Barb

Longfin Rosy Barb

Barbodes semifasciolatus

Barbs are a fun, loud personality to add to your peaceful home aquarium. They are quite active in the aquarium, and because they tend to want to school in groups of at least 5, more timid fish or long finned fish should be avoided as tank mates.

Barbs are omnivores, meaning they should be supplied with a varied diet of high- quality flake food and meaty frozen shrimp.

Rosy Barb Specifics

Rosy Barbs grow slightly larger than most other barbs in the family, maxing out at a size of 6 inches. They like to school together so a tank of at least 30g is recommended for a group of younger smaller ones. They like their temperature between 74-79^oF, a pH between 6.0-7.0, and a dKH between 4-10.
