55 Gallon Planted Barb Tank

This aquarium features a couple of barb species, including Tiger Barbs (Puntigrus tetrazona) and Denison's Barbs (Sahyadria denisonii). Many barb species are of Asian origin, and have their namesake "barbels", sensory organs, around their mouths. The plants in this tank are variants of Cryptocoryne sp. and Nymphoides sp. with origins in Asia. Gallery is original content by FishKnight.

  • Note:

    Sahyadria denisonii is listed by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as endangered in the wild. This species is now being bred in captivity. Please make sure your aquatic pets are produced from captive stock.

      This is my wife's tank. It is the first one she has set up on her own. She was very intentional with selecting Asian fish and plants. Thanks for your kind words. I will pass on your compliment.
