An attractively marked, medium growing species cyprinid, the Striped or Zebra Barb is widespread in Southeast Asia, where it is usually found in shallow, warm, blackwater creeks and pools. An active schooling fish, they require ample open space for swimming and make an excellent dither fish and add a lot of activity to a mixed species tank. The Striped Barb is a relatively peaceful and extremely hardy fish that will get along well with similarly sized or larger tankmates.
