Ruby Barbs are known for their striking red to pinkish hue. They’re peaceful, active, and add a pop of colour to any aquarium. These barbs are often more subdued in colouration when stressed, so they prefer a stable environment.
Minimum Tank Requirements:
Tank Size: 50 litres or more
Temperature: 24-28°C
pH: 6.0-7.5
Tankmates: Ruby Barbs are best kept with other peaceful fish like tetras, rasboras, and other barbs. Avoid pairing them with larger, aggressive fish.
Diet: Omnivorous. Feed them a varied diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp.
Care Tips: Ruby Barbs prefer to be kept in schools of at least 6 individuals. Make sure to provide a well-planted tank with plenty of space for them to swim.
