Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Red-finned Cigar Barb is a great semi-aggressive schooling fish. However, if adding in a school make sure that the aquarium is large enough because they can grow to be about 24 inches in size. Keeping them happy is pretty simple and they will acclimate to an aquarium setting fairly easily. They are a very active fish that needs plenty of swimming space. Since, they are so fast moving they can stress out slower moving tankmates, so use caution when determining appropriate tankmates. They prefer planted aquariums with rocks, fine gravel and drift where they can hide and swim through. The Red-finned Cigar Barb will accept just about any food that is dropped into the tank from freshwater flakes to frozen meaty foods.

- Care Level: Easy
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Minimum Tank Size: 220 gallons (when fully grown)

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
