tiger barb aquarium fish Tiger Barb Care | Tank Set up | Male | Female | Information

Tiger Barbs also called Sumatra Barb is popular Aquarium fish in the Hobby. The Video is made to help understand these fish Behavior & Requirements in an Aquarium. I have the regular and albino tiger barbs shown in the video. Since I keep these fish I understand few things which I would like to share.

Basic Information -
The scientific name of these fish is Puntigrus tetrazona. These fish are native to parts of South East Asia which includes Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Indonesia,Thailand etc. Their natural habitat includes moderately flowing streams in forest areas which are heavily vegetated. These fish are egg layers. They can grow up to 3 inches & live for over 5 years.
Male Tiger Barb - They are smaller than Females, more brightly colored & have reddish tip to its dorsal fin & a reddish nose while breeding.
Female Tiger Barb - They are rounded in the belly area as they carry eggs. Females are larger in size than males & few female tiger barbs have black dorsal in without the red tip.

Aquarium Care -
Water Parameters -
pH range - 6.5 to 7.5
Temperature range - 77 to 82 °F or 25 to 27.8 °C
Water Hardness - 5 to 15 dGH
Tank Decor - It has to be a planted & nicely oxygenated. Driftwood, rice rocks can be used to create hiding places.
Filtration - The tank has to be nicely aerated, else you would see these fish gasping for air.
Tank size - 20 Gallon for 6 & 30 gallon for more
Tank mates - No long finned fish should be kept with tiger barbs. Ideal tank mates are fast swimming fish, I had them with Zebra Danio's, Serpae Tetra, Platies, Mollies, Clown Loach, red tail shark without any trouble.
Food - They eat readily available fish food, pellets, flakes, live & frozen food can be fed. They love to eat bloodworms, daphnia, microworms. These fish are Omnivores.
Tank Maintenance - Since its a planted tank you need good lighting & a HOB filter works well. For Planted tanks check your water parameters or simply follow weekly water change of 25%.

I hope this information help, if you have any question's leave a comment. I will try to help with what I know.
