The Black Ruby Barb 1-1.5" (Pethia nigrofasciata) is a cyprinid (barb) that reaches about 2.5 inches as an adult. Like all of our freshwater livestock, it is farm-raised and shipped well-acclimated to aquarium life. Care: Temperament is mostly peaceful. Provide an aquarium of 20 gallons or larger. Water parameters: 72-79 F, pH 6.0-7.5. Diet: omnivore - flake, small pellets, frozen foods. This fish accepts prepared foods readily, and we recommend feeding a varied staple diet. Males deepen to a rich ruby-black in breeding condition. Keep a small school in a planted tank.
