Description: The Rosy Barb is one of the most beautiful freshwater fish. This barb has a silvery or coppery-pink color with a green cast along the back, and the males will have more pink on their underbellies. These fish are hardy, undemanding, and fun to watch because they are constantly on the move. These qualities make them one of the most desirable starter fish. They are peaceful and will do well in a community aquarium, with only an occasional nip on a tankmate's fins.
