Eye-catching, energetic and hardy, these bright red beauts are hard to beat when it comes to a newcomer’s choice for fish. With a peaceful temperament, these babies can coexist peacefully in community tanks. However, Cherry barbs are timid and skittish if they can’t find refuge, so provide plenty of hiding spots in the tank.
