I bought these barbs for my 120cm tank and they’ve been thriving for three months. The red filament fins are very eye-catching and they’re peaceful with other fish. Water conditions are stable and they adjust well to the pH and temperature range.

The fish are active and colorful. I kept them in a tank with other community fish and they coexist well. They seem to prefer slightly warmer water, but they’re adaptable to my current setup.
