The Spanner barb is a hardy aquarium fish although it can be a little boisterous and may chase some fishes. Taking this into account it should only be kept with other medium-large active and robust fishes. When young the fish will group together but as they age individuals will prefer their own space. As the fish is active and grows to 18cm, a large tank (120cm min) is required. Provide open swimming spaces with hiding spots amongst tough plants and wood.
