The Tiger Barb 1.5" (Puntius tetrazona) is a cyprinid (barb) that reaches about 2.5 to 3 inches as an adult. Like all of our freshwater livestock, it is farm-raised and shipped well-acclimated to aquarium life. Care: Temperament is semi-aggressive (fin-nipping). Provide an aquarium of 20 gallons or larger, in schools of 6+. Water parameters: 74-79 F, pH 6.0-7.5. Diet: omnivore - flake, pellets, frozen foods. This fish accepts prepared foods readily, and we recommend feeding a varied staple diet. Active, striped schooling barb. Keep at least six together so chasing is spread within the school; avoid long-finned tankmates.
