Schooling Behaviour

Add green aquatic plants
Maintain excellent water quality
Feed a varied nutritious diet

The fish’s appearance can vary depending on lighting, age, health, and individual genetics.

Breeding

Tiger Barbs are egg-scattering fish and can breed successfully under suitable conditions.

Breeding Tips

Condition adults with live and frozen foods
Provide fine-leaved plants or spawning mops
Use a separate breeding aquarium
Remove adults after spawning
Protect eggs from being eaten
Feed fry appropriately sized foods

Tiger Barbs provide no parental care and may consume their eggs.
