Tiger Barb
Puntigrus tetrazona
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.
Tiger Barb Specifics
Tiger Barbs are one of the most recognizable freshwater fish that are popular within community tanks.
Tiger Barbs grow to a size of 3", so a 30g aquarium for a school of at least 5 fish would be preferable. Their water temperature should be between 74-79oF. pH between 6.0-7.0, and a dKH between 4-10.
