Tiger Barb Care Guide
The Tiger Barb (Puntigrus tetrazona) is a beginner-level freshwater aquarium resident from Borneo, Sumatra. It reaches about 2.8 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 30 gallons.
Keep water near pH 6-7.5, temperature 73-81F, and hardness 4-15 dH. Feed omnivore, flakes, frozen food with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Tiger Barbs are active schooling fish. Keep a proper group to spread chasing behavior and avoid pairing nippy species with slow, long-finned tank mates.
