The Rosy Barb is a 14cm (5.5 inches) fish that lives in the Northeastern part of India. Puntius Conchonius is the genus name of this fish. It should be placed in a tank that is 60cm (24 inches) or longer, with neutral or soft water, and a temperature between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius (72 to 77F). The Rosy Barb will eat insects, plant matter, dried food, crustaceans and worms.A fish that a lot of people used in their aquarium in the last century, the Rosy Barb is great to have if you’re a beginner. The fish has a stocky body with the male being less stout than the female. Their length can go up to 14cm (5.5 inches) when they’re in the wild, but when it’s kept in a tank they will go only to 7.5cm (3 inches).
The belly of the Rosy Barb is silver in color and the back is olive/green. The sides of the fish are red and have a silver iridescence, which becomes a bright red when the fish spawn.
The fins of the Rosy Barb male are pink, with black for the dorsal fin’s tip. As for the fins of the female, they are colorless, with a bit of a dark tinge for the dorsal fin.
The Rosy Barb is not a demanding fish, that enjoys an aquarium with little lighting. You can do that by adding floating plants in the aquarium. They enjoy burrowing, so they need a soft sand at the bottom of the aquarium.
Because they enjoy shoaling, you should have a minimum of five fish of this type in your aquarium. If you want the females not to be harassed, the aquarium should have two females for each of the males.
When the Rosy Barbs breed, the eggs will be left on the plants. One day later the eggs are going to hatch. It will take a couple of days for the fish to begin free swimming. The adults will eat the eggs and the young, so make sure you protect them.
