Gold Barb
The Gold Barb (Puntius semifasciolatus), also known as the Golden Barn or the Chinese Barb, is a medium-sized barb native to China, Vietnam, and Taiwan. They have red-orange fins with attractive shiny gold scales.
Minimum Tank Size: 20 Gallons
Maximum Fish Size: 3" inches
Water Temperature: 64F to 76F
Ideal pH: 6.0 - 8.0
Water Hardness: 2 - 10 dGH
Temperament: Docile Schooling Species. Does best in groups of 6+. May be prone to eating live plants.
Unless experienced with fish-in cycling, we always suggest cycling an aquarium BEFORE adding fish. Adding fish to a fresh, un-cycled aquarium can kill them rapidly. We offer free water testing at our physical location, and advice via email or call.
