Tiger

Tiger barbs are a popular freshwater fish species known for their striking black and orange coloration and active swimming behavior. These fish are native to Southeast Asia and are a great addition to any community aquarium.

Tiger barbs can grow to a maximum size of around 3 inches (7.5 cm) in length, making them a great choice for medium-sized aquariums. They prefer a well-maintained aquarium with a temperature range between 22-27°C (72-80°F) and a pH between 6.0-8.0.

In their natural habitat, Tiger barbs feed on small insects and crustaceans. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet of flakes, pellets, or frozen foods, as well as live or freeze-dried foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms.

Tiger barbs are an active and playful species, and do well in community aquariums with other peaceful species. However, they can sometimes nip at the fins of other fish, so it's best to avoid keeping them with long-finned species like angelfish or bettas. They prefer plenty of hiding places and vegetation in their aquarium, as well as a well-filtered tank to keep the water quality high.

Overall, Tiger barbs are a great choice for hobbyists looking for a colorful and active addition to their aquarium. With their striking coloration and ease of care, they are a great choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
