Odessa Barb/Scarlet Barb Pethia padamya
These vibrantly colored fish are a perfect addition to the more active community aquarium. Hardy and always active, they will thrive in groups of five or more in slightly acidic water. Their bright scarlet and gold will be best showcased in a lower light aquarium, particularly against a backdrop of plants. These fish should not be housed with slower-moving or long-finned fish.
