Odessa Barb

A strikingly beautiful barb where mature males develop an intense, unbroken red horizontal stripe from eye to tail, set against a shimmering silver body. This vibrant coloration makes them a standout in any planted aquarium. They are active swimmers and, like most barbs, should be kept in schools of five or more to feel secure and reduce any potential for nipping. A well-maintained tank with both open swimming areas and planted sections will allow them to thrive and display their most impressive colors.
