Originating from rivers and streams in India, this barb species adds a splash of color to any community tank. Feeding: These omnivorous fish thrive on a diet consisting of high-quality flake foods, supplemented with live or frozen fare like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable matter to enhance their coloration. Tank Mates: Peaceful and sociable, Melon Barbs do well in community tanks with similarly peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and peaceful bottom-dwellers like Corydoras catfish. Aggression: Known for their docile nature, Melon Barbs exhibit minimal aggression, making them an excellent addition to community setups. However, they may display occasional territorial behavior during breeding. Experience Level: Ideal for aquarists of all skill levels, including beginners, due to their hardiness, adaptability, and ease of care. Water Parameters: Melon Barbs thrive in well-maintained tropical freshwater aquariums with temperatures between 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C), pH levels ranging from 6.5 to 7.5, and moderately soft to moderately hard water.
