The Black Ruby Barb is a beautiful species that's often overlooked in shops due to the drab appearance of the juveniles. In the wild, they are a threatened species, but thankfully all specimens sold in the trade are tank bred. This is a peaceful shoaling species that should be kept in groups of 6 or more individuals. The Black Ruby Barb is relatively easy to keep, but can be a little sensitive to sudden changes is water chemistry. As such it is recommended that smaller, more frequent partial water changes are made as opposed to one large one. Though they are peaceful, long finned fish should be avoided as they are prone to a bit of nipping
