$6.99 – $7.99Price range: $6.99 through $7.99
One of the most beautifully marked of all Southeast Asian Barbs, the Snakeskin, Round Banded, or Rhombo Barb is a medium growing species found in the blackwater streams and peat swamps of Borneo. In the wild, this species inhabits warm, acidic waters and will display their best coloration when kept in similar conditions. Unlike some of their more common relatives, the Rhombo Barb is peaceful and will do well with most peaceful tankmates in the aquarium. This species will do best when kept in groups of 5 or more. Warm, acidic water and the additions of some tannins in the form of botanicals like Indian Almond Leaves will help ensure the Rhombo Barb displays their most vivid coloration in the aquarium.

A large growing schooling fish found in clear, fast-moving waters in Thailand and Myanmar, the Hampala or Sidebar barb (Hampala macrolepidota) is a predatory but relatively peaceful barb. In the aquarium, they make an excellent dither fish for other large predatory fish and will do best with some water movement and frequent large water changes. Like many larger barbs, they can be skittish and first and will do best in a group of 3-5 fish. Some cover in the form of driftwood or artificial plants (live ones will be eaten) will help them settle into the aquarium environment.
