Cherry Barb 3cm

Puntius Titteya
Rating:
90% of 100
The cherry barb has got to be one of the most stunning naturally occurring fish in the world. The saturated red colour in males is truly breathtaking when seen in mature fish, even more so when kept in a planted aquarium. These fish have the colours of a tropical tetra, are extremely hardy, and stay small which makes them fantastic beginner fish. Cherry barbs as juveniles can look quite washed out which is why aquarists tend to skim over them in stores but once these fish settle in and mature the true beauty of their colours shine.

  3. Do not buy colourful fish from this site
    20%
    Do not buy colourful fish from this site, they will send you the most plain, uncoloured translucent / brown fish they can find.

    Livefish response: - Please contact the team with your photos so we can see if we can help. Fish can often temporarily loose their brightness after shipping or may not represent mature colours due to their size on arrival.

  5. Excellent service!
    100%
    Love the Cherry Barbs. All arrived on the due date. All the information on the website is fool proof :) I was informed that once the fish arrive because of the journey their colour would be dull but within a week the cherry colour started to pop and they are fitting in with my other community type fish. Thanks livefish for the great service and the overall package. The website is easy to navogate as well.

  7. cherry barbs are great with other smaller fish
    100%
    I am housing them in a south american tank with adult angelfish and other small fish, and they do well. Some species of barbs are fin nippers but cherry barbs do not seem to bother my angelfish at all. They also coexist nicely with neon tetras and danios.

    They eat just about anything and are not finicky about water conditions.

  8. Suit a dark background to trully show their colours
    100%
    A perfect option for anyone wishing to move away from tetras into something more active and visually appealing.

    So far i am yet to see any evidence of fin nipping on other fish. Suit a dark background to trully show their colours
