Rosy Barb Black Finned - Puntius conchonius 2-3cm
Black Finned Rosy Barbs are known for their vibrant, rosy coloration and active, playful behaviour.
They are a popular choice for community tanks due to their hardiness and ease of care.
These fish do best in groups and require a spacious tank with plenty of open swimming areas and some planted regions.
Their semi-aggressive nature means they should be kept with fish of similar size and temperament to avoid stress and aggression.
Rosy Barbs are a great addition to a well-maintained aquarium, bringing both colour and activity to the tank.
Rosy Barbs are temperate fish which means they can tolorate cooler tempretures.
