Scientific Name - Puntigrus Tetrazona
Sex - Mixed
Our size - 2"
Max size - 3"
Temperature range - 18 -24°C
pH range - 6.0-8.0
Diet - In the wild, Puntius semifasciolatus sticks to a varied diet that consists of detritus, plant matter, worms, insects and small crustaceans. It will therefore need a varied diet in the aquarium and must be given vegetable based food as well as meaty treats.
Compatibility - Provided there is considerable space, one of the best tankmates for the tiger barb is the clown loach; it will even school with the tiger barbs and act as they do. Alternatively, pair the tiger barb with fast-moving tankmates such as danios, platys, loaches, or catfish.
