Cherry Barb Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Cherry Barbs as Pet Fish (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781799112334)

The Cherry Barb (scientifically known as Puntius Titteya) is a fresh water species of tropical fish that belongs to the Cyprinidae family. The cheery barb is native to Sri Lanka but has been introduced to other countries such as Mexico and Colombia where it has thrived. Cherry barbs are among the most popular fresh water fish to be trader and kept and in recent years there has been concern that the species is being overfished for the aquarium industry. In the wild the cheery barb thrives in heavily shaded, calm and shallow waters that have a silty substrate. The cherry barb is a schooling fish and it is therefore important to keep more than one in your aquarium to allow your fish to feel happiest and most secure. It is considered best practice to have multiple plants within your tank to allow your cherry barbs to hide themselves and shade themselves between the plants.

Before purchasing any fish it is important to understand that as a fish owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your fish. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the fish you are considering to keep. You need to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your fish with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a cherry barbs's basic needs to help you provide your fish with the best quality care and aquarium practices. This guide also goes into the benefits of cycling, having a decent filtration system, plants and how to plant them.
