Cherry Barb

Cherry Barbs are small, vibrant tropical fish native to Southeast Asia. They are characterized by their striking coloration, featuring a dark body with a bright red belly.

These fish typically reach a maximum length of around 1.5 inches. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with a moderate water flow and a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. The tank should be at least 20 gallons to provide ample swimming space for a group of these social fish.

Cherry Barbs are omnivores and have a varied diet. They enjoy consuming flake food, live food (like brine shrimp or bloodworms), and frozen food. A balanced diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.

These fish are generally peaceful and compatible with other peaceful species. They are known for their lively and energetic personalities and can be quite entertaining to watch as they dart around the aquarium. However, they should not be kept with aggressive or territorial fish.
