Scientific Name: Capoeta tetrazona
Comments
Tiger Barbs are likely to nip at other fish especially
Angels. The more members
there are in a school of Tiger Barbs; the less likely they are to nip other fish. Keep a school of at least six Tiger Barbs.
The Tiger Barbs above have the original wild pattern and colors. We also stock Gold Tiger Barbs and Green Tiger Barbs. These are different
color varieties of the same species that have been developed over many years by fish farmers.
These Tiger
Barbs
are for sale at our online tropical fish store. They thrive in a group with six or more Tiger Barbs, but when the group has less
than six, they will usually not get along with each other, and they will often nip the fins of other fish.
To the left is a so-called Green Tiger Barb, which is the same species as the Tiger Barbs, shown above, and the Gold Tiger Barbs, shown below.
To the right are some Gold Tiger Barbs in our
facility. Click here for more about buying from us. These
Gold Tiger Barbs have black eyes and red marks in their fins but lack black bars that other Tiger Barbs have.
Appropriate Home Eventually an aquarium with at least 29 gallons of water, an
exterior power filter
with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, and an
aquarium heater adjusted
to between 72 and 82 degrees F. Click
here for more about warm water aquariums.
Recommended Diet
Floating flake
food and freeze dried
blood worms, which are
actually mosquito
larvae. Both of these
foods are available in
most stores that sell
pet fish.
Tiger Barbs also relish a few live Black Worms and live or frozen brine shrimp. Click
here for more about
feeding your fish. I feed Tiger Barbs a few Black Worms every other day. Click
here for more about Black Worms.

Compatibility As mentioned above Tiger Barbs do much better in a group with at least six Tiger Barbs. The following fish are good tank mates for Tiger Barbs: all
Gouramis, all
Danios, one
Red
Tail Shark or one
Rainbow Shark, a school of
Bala Sharks,
a school of
Clown Loaches, a few
Yoyo Loaches, and one
Plecostomus
Catfish or a Bushy Nose Plecostomus.
Tiger Barbs are also often kept with livebearers such as
Platies,
Swordtails,
and Mollies, but not with Fancy Guppies, which are too small to live with the more aggressive Tiger Barbs.
Tiger Barbs are notorious for nipping the fins of
Angel Fish, and Tiger Barbs should not be kept
with small fish like Neon Tetras and Guppies, that are usually bullied by the bigger Tiger Barbs.

Picture Gallery of Tiger
Barbs
Shown above,
this appears to be a
female Tiger Barb with a
deep body and rounded
abdomen like many female
Barbs, but this fish
also has pointed red
fins, which indicate
that it may be a
chubby male.
Just above
are pictures of two very
young Gold Tiger Barbs
in the midst of a short
quarrel.
More Tiger Barbs
- These pictures show a
plumper fish that may be
a female that's filling
with eggs. The bottom
picture, just above, is
probably a young more
slender male.
You can see
in several of the
picture, just above,
that Tiger Barbs school
together and interact
almost constantly with
each other. That is why
it is important to keep
them in a school with at
least six of their
species. Green, Gold,
and regular Tiger Barbs
are all the same
species, and sometimes
but not always will
school together and
interact.
Size and Life Span Tiger Barbs can live for several years and grow to be 3" long. Sometimes with excellent care they will live longer and grow to be
even bigger.

About our Photographs ...
Almost all the
photographs and videos, shown on this web site,
were taken of our fish by DrTom Bailey, one of
the owners. Compare the fish in these pictures
to the fish in our competitors pictures. Their
fish often have clamped fins and poor color,
while our fish look healthy, energetic, and
colorful! We buy the highest quality fish,
produced by the best fish farms and
caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then
we take incredibly good care of our fish in our
advanced facilities. If you compare the fish
shown in the pictures on this site to our
competitors, you can instantly see, ours are
better! ;^ }
