Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya)
The Cherry Barb is a peaceful and colourful schooling fish, best known for the rich red coloration displayed by mature males. Native to Sri Lanka, these hardy little barbs are ideal for community aquariums and are well suited to both beginners and experienced fishkeepers.
Cherry Barbs are calm by barb standards and thrive in groups, where their natural colours and behaviour really shine. They prefer planted aquariums with some open swimming space and are compatible with most peaceful community fish.
