Description
Black Ruby Barb. Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised Estimated size at shipping: 1.25-2.5" Adult Size: around 2.5-3" Overview: Give them some time, and the males of this species will develop into stunningly colored jewels. Barbs, named for the sensory barbels on their mouths, come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Most are peaceful, energetic fishes which add movement and color to their aquariums. They are also some of the hardiest species, making them fairly easy aquarium fish to keep. A few species, like the infamous Tiger Barb, are fin-nippers and have given all Barbs a mostly undeserved reputation as "aggressive." In actuality, most barbs are quite peaceful, especially if kept in large groups. They are assertive, curious, and fast feeders, so they don't mix well with shy species or slow.
