Redside Barb - Puntius Bimaculatus
Couldn't load pickup availability
Redside barbs have a warm reddish-orange flush along their flanks that becomes more intense as they mature and settle into their tank. They are a medium-sized barb that is peaceful enough for community setups but active enough to keep things interesting. Less commonly seen than cherry barbs, they are a nice alternative for barb enthusiasts.
Home-bred by me in QLD and raised on live food for the best colour and health.
