Labiobarbus ocellatus
Ocellated Barb
Labiobarbus ocellatus, or the Ocellated Barb, is a peaceful, schooling fish best kept in groups of 5 or more. They require a spacious tank with plenty of swimming room and hiding spots using plants and driftwood. Ideal for community tanks, they coexist well with other similarly sized, non-aggressive species. Regular water changes and good filtration are crucial to maintain optimal water quality.
