Barb - Albino Tiger (Puntius tetrazona)

The tiger barb (Puntigrus tetrazona), also known as the Sumatra barb, is a popular, active, and vibrant freshwater fish in the aquarium hobby. It is known for its distinctive black vertical stripes on an orange or gold body and its boisterous schooling behavior.

  • Beginner-friendly.
  • Maximum size: 6-8cm
  • Ideal water temperature: 23.0°C - 27.0°C
  • pH range: 6.0 - 7.5
