Rosy barbs are one of the most popular and readily available freshwater fish for aquarium hobbyists. The longfin variety has exactly that, long flowing fins. They are an active fish with a peaceful temperament and bright rosy color. The rosy barb is one of the larger members of the barb species, and it can grow up to six inches in the wild. This fish enjoys company, and if its school is large enough, it will not bother other fish in the aquarium. Rosy barbs make great additions to an aquarium and also do well in ponds in warm weather.

Ideally, keep no fewer than five rosy barbs in an aquarium as they are a shoaling species. Because of their fin-nipping nature, avoid keeping them with slower-moving, long-finned fish.
Here’s a list of some of the best tank mates for your Rosy Barb:
Rosy barbs are omnivores and are accepting of almost any food, they should be given a variety of foods. Feed a quality pelleted or flake food, in addition to live and frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms. They will also consume vegetable matter.
Rosy barbs tolerate broad water parameters but prefer stable, clean and moderate flowing water. When selecting an aquarium filter consider the size of your aquarium and ensure adequate volume to maintain clean water. Cannister filters are a great option for medium to large aquariums and aid in maintaining water quality.
