Cherry Barb

Add a beautiful splash of vibrant red colour to your aquarium with our Cherry Barbs! These attractive freshwater fish are loved for their striking cherry-red colouration, with males displaying deep, rich red tones and females featuring softer golden-orange and reddish hues.

Striking Appearance: Males develop an intense cherry-red colouration, complemented by a subtle dark horizontal stripe along their bodies, while females display beautiful warm golden and reddish tones.

Easy Care & Hardy: Perfect for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike, these adaptable fish thrive in well-planted aquariums with stable water conditions.

Size & Personality: Growing to approximately 4–5cm, Cherry Barbs are peaceful, active fish that make excellent additions to community aquariums with compatible tank mates.

Schooling Behaviour: Best kept in groups of 6 or more, where they feel more comfortable and display their natural social behaviour. A larger group with a good balance of males and females can also encourage males to display their most vibrant colours.

Cherry Barbs are an excellent choice for planted aquariums and peaceful community tanks, bringing beautiful colour, activity, and personality to your underwater world.
