Barbonymus schwanefeldii

Barbonymus schwanefeldii, commonly known as the Tinfoil Barb, is a freshwater fish popular among aquarists due to its bright metallic sheen and active swimming behavior. Though they can grow large, they often begin their life in home aquariums before requiring larger habitats. They are social fish, typically requiring groups of at least five to thrive. Known for their hardy nature, they are suitable for community tanks, but care must be taken in selecting compatible tank mates due to their size.
