Long Fin Rosy Barb Pethia Conchonius 4cm Overview: The Rosy Barb, known for its vibrant colors and lively personality, is a charming freshwater fish sought after for community aquariums. With its distinctive pinkish-red body and shimmering fins, it adds a delightful vibrancy to any tank. Origin: Native to South Asia, particularly found in rivers and streams across India, the Rosy Barb thrives in well-oxygenated waters with moderate flow. Feeding: These omnivorous beauties readily accept a varied diet, happily devouring flakes, pellets, live, and frozen foods. They particularly relish vegetable-based foods and occasional treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp. Tank Mates: Rosy Barbs are generally peaceful but thrive best in groups of 5 or more, reducing stress and enhancing their coloration. They coexist harmoniously with other peaceful community fish like tetras, danios, and peaceful bottom-dwellers like Corydoras catfish. Aggression: While mostly peaceful, males might exhibit occasional territorial behavior during breeding periods. Providing ample space and plenty of hiding spots helps mitigate any aggression. Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate aquarists will find the Rosy Barb relatively easy to care for, given their hardiness and adaptability to various water conditions. Water Parameters: Rosy Barbs tolerate a range of water conditions. Aim for temperatures between 64-75°F (18-24°C), a pH of 6.0-8.0, and moderate hardness.
