Description
Eight Banded False Barbs are an extremely beautiful, but very shy and delicate species. They must be maintained in groups of six or more fish due to their shoaling nature, and should only be considered for mature softwater aquaria. A good amount of plant cover will provide much needed shady areas for these timid fish to congregate underneath. In the wild, these fish are found in blackwater forest streams which must be replicated as closely as possible in the home aquarium. They will not fare well in harder, more alkaline conditions. The addition of Indian Almond Leaves (Terminalia catappa) to the filter can be beneficial. Tankmates should be small and peaceful. Not recommended for beginners.
