Lani Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Is anybody keeping these fish? Purchased 5 young beauties yesterday. LFS says temp should be 26 deg. as per their tanks and labelled them Dwarf Lemon Barbs, but online search only brings up D. Golden Barbs and recommend temps at 22 deg and no higher than 23 for optimum health/breeding. Some experiential knowledge would be appreciated.

Caryl Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Never heard of them but the non dwarf versions are quite happy at cooler temeratures than the average tropical fish who likes it 24 - 27C. Many of the barbs are perfectly happy at a lower 18 - 22C but will be fine at the higher temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lani Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 thanks Caryl. I will lower the temp, gradually, in case these little fellas were bred at around 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
