Moss Green Tiger Barb – Puntius tetrazona
Size: 4-5cm
Green tiger barbs are schooling fish and the bigger the school in which they’re kept, the better for the fish. It’s best to keep these fish in groups of at least 6 or 7 because of their aggressive tendencies when kept alone or in smaller groups.
Green tiger barbs do best with other active fish like other species of barbs, loaches, catfish, danios, etc.

Jennifer Lee –
I kept a group of 7 Moss Green Tiger Barbs in a 60-liter tank. They are very active and colorful. The school stays calm when kept together, and they enjoy the water movement. Only recommend keeping them in a group of at least six.
Lillian Robertson –
The fish arrived healthy and are active in my 40-liter tank. I paired them with danios and loaches, and they get along well. I noticed they become more peaceful when the school is larger.
Lily Glover –
Great color and lively behavior. I followed the advice to keep at least six fish. The tank water parameters stayed stable, and they haven’t shown aggression since the school was established.
