Description

Platinum Tinfoil Barb Barbodes Schwanenfeldii 5cm

“Introducing the stunning Platinum Tinfoil Barb, a striking addition to any aquarium! Originating from Southeast Asia, these shimmering beauties boast a captivating platinum sheen over their sleek bodies, adding a touch of elegance to your aquatic landscape.

Feeding these barbs is a breeze as they’re omnivorous, delighting in a varied diet of quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp.

Known for their sociable nature, these barbs flourish in community tanks, enjoying the company of peaceful tank mates such as tetras, danios, and loaches. However, their energetic nature may intimidate shy or slower-moving fish.

While generally peaceful, they may display occasional chasing among themselves. A spacious tank with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas helps mitigate any territorial behavior.

Best suited for intermediate aquarists, these barbs thrive in well-maintained tanks with neutral to slightly acidic water (pH 6.5-7.5) and temperatures between 72-79°F (22-26°C). Regular water changes and a balanced environment contribute to their vibrant health and coloration.

With their dazzling appearance and lively demeanor, the Platinum Tinfoil Barb brings both beauty and activity to any aquarium, making them a cherished addition for enthusiasts seeking an eye-catching and engaging aquatic experience.”
