Green Tiger Barb

Name: Green Tiger Barb
Scientific Name: Puntigrus tetrazona (select green morph)
Maximum Length: About 3 inches
Favorite Things: Active swimming space, planted aquariums with open areas, and a varied omnivore diet (flakes, pellets, bloodworms, brine shrimp, veggies). Very lively and hardy.
Best Buddies: Best kept in groups of 6 or more to reduce fin-nipping. Works with other semi-aggressive schooling fish like larger tetras, rainbowfish, and loaches. Avoid slow-moving or long-finned tankmates (like angelfish and bettas).
