Cherry Barb

£5.50

This is the price for a pair of Cherry Barbs.

Cherry Barbs are brightly coloured fish and one of the most popular in their family. Their bright colours and schooling nature are adored by aquarists of all levels.

They are hardy fish which makes these fish perfect for experts or beginners. This fish will fit nicely into planted tanks as they will use the plants to hide when threatened, especially in the female’s case as males tend to harass females during breeding.

Description

Due to their schooling behaviour, they bring so much colour and activity to the middle of your tank.

The reason for this stems from the fact that the more fish in a group you have the more confidence they will get. From a social and survival aspect, a group of fish is more likely to survive an attack than an individual.

It’s important to keep Cherry Barbs in a group to prevent them from going into hiding and being really shy.

When keeping a group of Barbs you also need to think about the ratio of males to females. During spawning, males will harass females, which means having the correct ratio of males to females is important. If a male is going after one female-only she will get stressed which could lead to health complications.

The ideal ratio is 1 male for every 2 females. This gives them a break from being chased but also lets you have your brightly coloured males on display.
