Bright, peaceful and easy to care for ruby barbs

A gregarious and very active species, it should be kept in schools of at least 8 individuals in an aquarium of at least 80 litres. Clear water and a soft external filter are ideal.
Omnivorous: microgranules, artemia, worms and plant foods. Find out more about our food for small bearded ducks.
