Green Tiger Barb

Green Tiger Barb

At Paws and Claws Manawatu, Green Tiger Barbs are a bold, high-energy choice for aquariums that can handle a bit of attitude and a lot of movement.

This striking colour morph of the classic Tiger Barb features a deep green body with dark vertical stripes and flashes of orange in the fins. They are active, fast-swimming fish that thrive in groups and bring constant action to the mid-level of the tank.

Green Tiger Barbs do best in larger aquariums with plenty of swimming space and should be kept in schools to reduce fin-nipping behaviour. When housed correctly, they make an exciting addition to semi-aggressive or robust community setups.

Why you’ll love them:

• Deep green colouring with bold black stripes

• Extremely active and entertaining to watch

• Hardy and adaptable

• Best kept in schools

• Great for larger, lively aquariums

Care Guide:

• Temperature: 22–26°C

• pH: 6.0–7.5

• Tank: 100L+ recommended

• Group Size: 6–8 or more

• Diet: Quality flakes, pellets, frozen & live foods

⚠️ Please note: Tiger Barbs can be fin nippers if kept in small groups or with slow, long-finned fish. Choose tank mates carefully.
