description Rosy Barb Overview

Rosy Barbs are active and colorful fish that thrive in schools. They are relatively hardy and easy to care for, but can be slightly nippy towards slower-moving fish. They prefer cooler temperatures (65-77°F) and a pH of 6.0-7.5. They are omnivores and readily accept flake food, but enjoy occasional live or frozen treats.

A larger tank is recommended to accommodate their active swimming habits and prevent fin nipping.
