Aquarium Information

- Minimum tank size: 20 gallons (75 liters)
- Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish such as other small barbs, tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids. Avoid keeping with very large or aggressive species, or fish with long, flowing fins that might be nipped.
- Special requirements: Ticto Barbs are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-8 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. They appreciate a well-planted aquarium with open swimming spaces. A good filtration system and regular water changes are essential for their health.
