Odessa barbs are one of the most colourful barbs in the hobby. Males develop a stunning bright red stripe running along their body that is hard to miss. They are active, confident fish that bring real energy and colour to a community tank. Best kept in a group where the males will display and compete, showing their best colours.
Home-bred by me in QLD and raised on live food for the best colour and health.
