Tinfoil Barbs are large schooling fish that are a great choice for freshwater community aquariums. A streamlined fish reaching at least one foot in captivity, the Tinfoil Barb is easily recognized with its shiny silver body. Being a schooling fish, more than one is recommended, however, due to their large adult size they will need a substantially sized aquarium. Decor can vary, and they have been kept in a variety of settings including planted aquariums, but a natural habitat would likely consist of some stones and larger rocks for them to rest behind. Tinfoil Barbs are not difficult to feed and mostly eat small invertebrates and some plant matter in the wild. A balanced and varied diet between live or frozen small meaty foods (bloodworms, blackworms, brine shrimp etc.) along with some quality pellets or flakes will lead to your fish being their healthiest.

I got a red barb a couple months ago and I thought it was just a little bit deformed. But today I looked at the fish and it has a white thing that came out of its skin where I thought its body was the most crooked. So I would like to know maybe what the white thing is and if I should put the fish in quarantine.

Hello! my tropic tetra fish, lĂmon, has a cut out down the middle that I have not noticed before and her tail has a small cut too. she lives in a 10 gallon community tank with 3 more tropic tetras. none of her tank mates are aggressive. Does she have fin rot or some other disease? she gets regular water changes and has been acting completely normal. please send help!
I have 2 salmenese tiger fish and two smaller fish in approximately 3.5 L bowl. I bought them on 1 April. 3 act normal but one act abnormal from first day. One salmenese tiger fish doesn't move much first it stayed at bottom now it's gapping at surface and if I try to catch to check it it goes down again. It's fins are turning red or I don't know if it already was. I don't understand how to help. Parents are out town so I can't go to shop. I am not sure if all are eating food.
Hi there, I'm not sure if this website applies to fish, but I don't have anyone in my area that can help. I have a gold nugget pleco and he eats veggies and driftwood all the time, has a large 55 gallon tank to himself and he has normal catfish habits-sleep during day, up at night. Anyways he was a beautiful black and gold but now his colour is fading... I looked it up and it means death (but he's eating and still very alive...). Is there anything you know about why else the colour could go?

I think my betta fish has clamped fins, any help?
My platies back fins are torn. She can't swim and won't eat. I moved them to an unfiltered tank from the other fish. Will the fins grow back? What should I do?
Last Monday, I got 3 bleeding heart tetras. All seemed well. When I checked on the fish last evening, I noticed 1 of the bleeding heart tetras was missing her tail. I know she does not have fin rot, as her other fins look healthy. It didn't look infected, so I decided to let it heal on its own. When I woke up, she was floating on her back, I flipped her around and she was fine. Now the other 2 are fin nipping her and ganging up on her. I moved her to a small glass bowl, what now?
