Golden Neon Barb
Size: 4cm
Barbs are schooling fish and thrive best when kept in groups of at least 6 or 7. Keeping them alone or in smaller groups may lead to aggressive behavior.

Jonathan Turner –
I kept 7 Golden Neon Barbs in a 60-liter tank with danios and loaches. They’re active and colorful, and the school behavior is very natural. Only issue is they need a well-maintained tank with stable parameters.
Tracey Newman –
Great fish for a community tank. I added them to a mixed group with catfish and other barbs. They swim together nicely and stay calm when the group is large enough.
Joseph Gray –
The neon color is vibrant and stands out in the tank. I kept them in a group of 6 and noticed they’re less aggressive than expected once they had a proper school.
