Pethia nigrofasciata is a mid-sized barb from Sri Lanka, reaching just over 2" in length. Females somewhat resemble tiger barbs, but mature males develop deep black bodies with b right red heads. Like other barbs, it should maintained in larger schools, 6-8+ being ideal, to keep any nipping or aggression contained to themselves. These are juveniles around 0.5-0.75" long. They have yet to develop adult colouration. Show more
