The Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona) is a lively community favorite known for its striking stripes and nonstop activity.
They thrive in groups of six or more, which keeps fin-nipping behavior focused within the school and off tankmates.
Raised on our Florida fish farm, these barbs are hardy, well-acclimated, and ready to bring motion and color to planted or community tanks.
