Description
Checkered Barb Oliotius Oligolepis 4cm
“Introducing the vibrant Checkered Barb (Oliotius oligolepis) – a lively addition to any community tank! Originating from Southeast Asia, these barbs showcase striking black-and-gold checkered patterns that shimmer under the aquarium lights. With a peaceful demeanor, they thrive in groups and prefer well-planted tanks with open swimming spaces.
Feeding on a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats enhances their coloration and overall health. Their social nature makes them great companions for other peaceful, similarly-sized tank mates like tetras, rasboras, and peaceful gouramis.
While generally peaceful, providing adequate space and avoiding aggressive tank mates can prevent any territorial behavior. With an intermediate level of care, they are perfect for hobbyists with some prior experience in maintaining community aquariums.
Maintaining stable water parameters between 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a pH range of 6.0-7.5 ensures their well-being. These active and visually captivating barbs bring a delightful energy to any aquarium!”
