Description
The Rhombo Snakeskin Barb has a great pattern and is a great semi-aggressive schooling fish. Their pattern looks similar to snakeskins, which is how they got their name. Keeping them happy is pretty simple and they will acclimate to an aquarium setting fairly easily. They prefer planted aquariums with rocks and drift where they can hide and swim through. Add in groups of six or more. The Rhombo Snakeskin Barb will accept just about any food that is dropped into the tank from freshwater flakes to frozen meaty foods.

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.
