Caryl Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 They are just a colour variation. Treat as you would any other barbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conaquavict Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Iread that they are a shy fish which T-barbs certainly are'nt :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 They are a shoaling fish and will be shy if on their own or small numbers. 6 minimum would help. T barbs also grow a lot bigger. By 'treat as you would any other barb' I meant any other barb of a similar size like the ruby barbs, tigers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Tinfoil barbs - - Barbodes schwanenfeldii T-Barb - - B. lateristriga Ruby Barb - - Barbus nigrofasciatus. It so helps with the taxonomical names. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
