The Cherry Barb (Pethia titteya) is one of the most colorful and peaceful freshwater barbs available.
Males develop a rich cherry-red hue, while females display a warm copper tone, creating beautiful contrast in a planted or community aquarium.
They are active but gentle and thrive when kept in groups of six or more.
Raised on our Florida fish farm, these barbs are hardy, tank-acclimated, and ready to bring color and activity to your aquarium.
