Green Tiger Barb
Barbs are a hardy and active schooling fish with stunning coloration and distinct personalities. Recommended for beginning aquarists, the Green Tiger Barb is primarily a deep green with splashes of silver/gold and orange coloring on the fins. This active fish is best kept in schools of five or more, preferably with odd numbers to prevent pairing. A well-planted tank with plenty of swimming space and slightly acidic soft water is ideal. Barbs tend to nip at the fins of larger, slower moving fish.
