Tiger Barb
Also known as the Sumatra Barb, Sumatránka (Czech Republic), Moosbarbe (Germany), or Chetyrekhpolosyi (Russia).
Barbs are a hardy and active schooling fish with stunning coloration and distinct personalities that are recommended for the more advanced beginning aquarists. This active fish is best kept in schools of five or more, preferably with odd numbers to prevent pairing.
Clown Loaches have been known to school with Tiger Barbs as well. A well planted tank with plenty of swimming space and slightly acidic soft water is ideal. Tiger Barbs tend to nip at the fins of larger, slower moving fish. However, extremely territorial and aggressive fish (such as African and New World Cichlids) are not recommended as tankmates.
