General Information: Like to live in a shoal of 6 or more and like a well planted tank so they can hide for cover. Although, they must have some open swimming areas. This fish is very tough and is an ideal beginner fish as it is colourful, tough and fairly energetic.
Tank Requirements: See Minimum Tank Volume and Minimum Tank Size above
Diet Requirements: Flakes and vegetables are the main diet but cherry barbs normally eat what they are given.
Compatibility: As long as they have a small shoal they will be happy and will tend not to bother other fish. They are normally peaceful.

Common Problems:
Similar Species:
Sexing: Males tend to be a red/deep red. Females tend to be a redish brown.
Breeding: They tend to spead their eggs around the tank, the amount of eggs can vary from 150-350. When spead the adults will try to eat as many eggs as they can. Eggs normally hatch within 48hours.
